Description
Lady Lumley's Almshouses is a row of 12 almshouses built in 1670, restored in the 19th century, and modernised and extended in the 20th century. They were established under a Trust Deed executed by Lady Elizabeth Lumley in 1657. The building is constructed of squared limestone with a stone flag roof and features a single-cell, lobby-entry plan, with modern rear extensions. It has a single storey and a 24-bay front. The façade includes paired 4-panel doors in plain square surrounds that alternate with 2-light diamond lattice windows featuring cinquefoil heads, also in similar surrounds. A 19th-century tablet in the centre commemorates the origins of the charity. The building has a moulded eaves cornice and seven ridge stacks.
