Description
St Margaret's Charity Almshouses (south block) is a leprosy hospital dating from around 1530. It consists of three cottages on the south side of Exeter Road, forming an L-shaped block with brick and rubble walls and a thatched roof. Some early 16th century doors and woodwork remain, including an oak door frame with a shouldered arch. Additionally, two early 19th century Gothic windows, similar to those across the road, have been inserted. St Margaret's Charity Almshouses and Chapel form a group.
