Description
A row of six almshouses, with a central chapel, dating from 1887 and built for the Tyntesfield Estate. The buildings are now used as four houses. They are constructed of coursed squared rubble with freestone dressings, with the centre and end gables rendered. The roof is tiled, and there are five ashlar stacks, each with part of the inscription "God Made This Rest For Us." The buildings are single-storey with attics contained in pierced gablets. There are twelve two- and three-light casement windows with chamfered stone mullions. The outer two bays are gabled end wings, and the central bay has a tall gable with a bargeboard, a central three-light mullioned casement window, and the date inscribed in the render. Plank doors are set within chamfered surrounds with four-centred heads; some have been replaced with windows. The tiled roofs slope forward between the gables to cover a walk of four wooden, elliptical-headed arcaded openings supported on a low wall of coursed rubble. An octagonal wooden pump, bound by decorative ironwork and surmounted by a crown, stands on a square rubble base in the front garden, two yards in front of the centre of the building.
