Almshouses

This building is a pair of almshouses dating from the late 17th century, with possible extensions from the 19th and 20th centuries. They were founded by John Stooke and are constructed from rendered and painted stone rubble and cob walls, topped with a dry slate roof. The external gable end stacks are made of rendered stone with tall rendered brick shafts. The structure features short wings with gable ends and a central valley at the rear. Originally, each almshouse likely had a one-room plan, but they have been modified to include two-room plans along with a 20th-century extension.

The almshouses are two storeys high and have a symmetrical two-window front facing southwest. There are two 20th-century boarded doors in the middle, set beneath an original oak lintel, and these are sheltered by a slate roofed canopy supported by brackets. The windows are 20th-century stock factory two-light casements of equal size. An earlier photograph from the National Monuments Record shows three-light casements with oak lintels, where the first-floor windows are narrower and shorter. Above the doorway, there is a stone plaque inscribed with the words: "All things come of thee and of thine own have we given thee." Inside, the original slightly chamfered oak beams remain, along with a rounded recess that likely served as the original stairway in each almshouse.
