Description
Number 3 Hussey's Almshouses, along with its screen wall and plaque to the south, was founded in 1794 and rebuilt in 1875. It is part of a group of almshouses. The building is two storeys high, constructed of red brick with stone dressings and quoins. It features a steep gable end slate roof and has stone dressings around the casement windows and a pointed arched doorway. The roof is adorned with tall grouped Jacobean-style stacks. There is a shaped gable facing the street and an external chimney. On the wall adjoining No 3 to the left when facing the street, there is a reset 17th-century relief of the Royal Arms in a stone panel, which is very weathered and depicts a lion and unicorn. An inscription from 1907 indicates that this spot was the site of the Castle Gate, and the Royal Arms are said to have originated from the Castle. Numbers 1 to 14, Hussey's Almshouses, form a cohesive group.
