Grobham Cottages

Grobham Cottages are two former almshouses dating from the early 17th century, originally built as four. They are constructed from banded flint and limestone with a tiled roof and gable end rendered stacks. The cottages have a baffle-entry design and are single storey with an attic, featuring four windows with casements. There are two chamfered stone doorcases at the center and two at the ends, all fitted with 20th-century doors. The windows include four 2-light recessed hollow-chamfered mullioned casements with 20th-century steel casements, and there are four hipped dormers with 20th-century casements. The rear of the building has 20th-century lean-to extensions and doors, along with single-light recessed hollow-chamfered casements. The interiors were altered and modernized in the 1960s, retaining some chamfered beams. These almshouses were endowed by Sir Richard Grobham in his will of 1628, and his monument can be found in the Church of St Giles.
