Description
Nos 1-4 Turner's Close are two ranges of almshouses built in 1846. They feature coursed rubble-stone walls and scale-tiled roofs with stone gable copings and cavetto-moulded kneelers. Each ridge has two tall octagonal stone stacks topped with octagonal capstones. The two ranges face each other across a small courtyard and are single-storey structures. Each range has two windows, each consisting of two 4-centred lights in a square head with a label above, and iron casements with lozenge-leading. The doors are located towards the ends of each range, with straight-chamfered jambs and a depressed arch in a square head, also with a returned label above. The doors are plank-style, studded, and fitted with strap-hinges, dating from the 19th century. Each dwelling has a short rear wing, also from the 19th century. The east and west sides of the courtyard are enclosed by screen walls, each featuring a central gateway with a 4-centred head and moulded coping above. On the north-west gable, there is an inscription panel that is only partly legible, stating "(Bui)l(t) (an)d Endowed in the Year of Our Lord 1846". These almshouses were built under the patronage and endowment of the Reverend and Mrs. Turner of Trent.
