Description
Dutton's Almshouses, built in 1616 under the will of Thomas Dutton from Turkdean, feature the initials 'T.D.' on the spandrels of the central doorway. The building is constructed from coursed squared and dressed limestone with a stone slate roof and ashlar stacks. It has a long rectangular plan and is 1.5 storeys high, showcasing a six-gabled facade. The windows are all 2-light double-chamfered stone-mullioned casements with leaded panes, and there are stopped hoods over the windows that light the gables.
The front has three double 19th-century plank doors, each set within moulded Tudor-arched surrounds with stopped hoods. The central doorway features spandrels with small shields bearing the initials 'T.D.' and decorative foliage. At the rear, there are five Tudor-arched doorways topped with hipped stone slate canopies. The ground floor has double-chamfered stone-mullioned casements, while the upper floor includes six 20th-century flat-roofed dormers. The building is topped with three paired axial stacks that have skirtings and moulded cappings, saddleback coping along the gables and roof axis, moulded kneelers, and pointed finials at the gable apexes.
An attached wall made of coursed squared and dressed limestone runs parallel to the almshouses. The wall is approximately 1.8 meters high where it runs parallel to the road and about 2.25 meters at the left-hand return. There is a single gate aligned with the center of the facade, featuring square piers with pyramidal cappings and steeply pitched coping with roll-moulding. The interiors have not been inspected.
