Dents Terrace

Dent's Terrace is a group of 10 almshouses built in 1865, designed by architects Sir George Gilbert Scott and J. Drayton Wyatt. The buildings are constructed from well-dressed limestone in cream, yellow, and pink, with concrete tile roofs. They face the street with a coped gable, a large chimney stack, and a carved coat of arms. The almshouses are arranged in pairs under coped gables, stepping down the slope, and all feature gabled back exteriors with stacks that have simple cappings and stepped plinths.

Each dwelling is one and a half storeys high and includes a 2-light dormer window with an octagonal central colonnette. The ground floor has a 3-light casement window with square heads, splayed octagonal stepped mullions, and horizontal bars. Gabled porches have paired shouldered openings leading to plank doors, along with a central footscraper. Various relieving arches are present, and the porch gables alternately display '1865' and 'D', along with original hopper-heads, a cavetto gutter, and downpipes. This group remains externally as originally built and exemplifies the generosity of John Coucher Dent and his wife Emma Dent, who were the owners of Sudeley Castle at that time.
