Description
St John's Almshouses are early 19th-century almshouses located on Lewis Lane in Cirencester. They are built from coursed squared limestone and feature a stone slate roof, with three ashlar and one rendered ridge and end stacks. The building is two stories high and has a ten-window range.
On the first floor, there are six 2-light chamfered stone mullion windows, which have 20th-century metal casements set in slightly splayed reveals with stone cills. Additionally, there are four similar blind windows without mullions. The ground floor also has six similar 2-light windows and six 20th-century half-glazed doors. The structure includes a shallow plinth and a moulded string course above the ground floor.
At the center of the first floor, there is a recessed ashlar panel with a chamfered stone surround that bears incised lettering stating: "THESE ALMSHOUSES/ WERE RE-ENDOWED BY/ WILLIAM LENNOX EARL/ BATHURST/ IN MEMORY OF HIS SISTER/ THE LADY GEORGINA L/ BATHURST/ DECEASED 27 MARCH 1874." The interiors have not been inspected.
