Victoria Jubilee Langford Homes

Victoria Jubilee Langford Homes are almshouses built in 1887, possibly designed by Foster and Wood of Bristol. The building features finely jointed squared and coursed dressed stone with ashlar dressings, wooden bargeboards, loggias, dressed stone copings, plain tile roofs, and brick stacks.

In a free-form Gothic style, the structure is two storeys high with a nine-bay south front. The end bays are advanced, and there is a central gabled section with an ornate cartouche. The windows are cross-mullions with plate glass lights throughout, with those in alternate bays on the ground floor set in canted bays and those in the end sections in semi-circular bays. The upper alternate windows are located under gables. There is a lean-to roof over the ground floor windows, which features three round-arched loggias and four plank doors. The building has a bracketted eaves cornice and a steeply pitched gabled roof with tall anelled stacks. Porches are present on the east and west return fronts, and a statue of Queen Victoria is situated above the west porch. The almshouses were erected at the expense of Sidney Hill of Langford House.
