Description
St Helen's Almshouses, founded in 1811, is a building designed as a square structure that has been divided into four separate almshouses. The exterior is made of coursed, squared rubble with quoins. It features a pyramidal roof covered with graduated slates, topped by a cross-shaped, corniced stone chimney stack. The building has two storeys, with single-storey lean-tos added to the east and west sides, both covered by hipped, graduated slate roofs.
On the north and south sides, there are two sash windows on each floor and a part-glazed door at the ends of each lean-to. The east and west sides also have two sash windows on the first floor and two sash windows in the lean-tos; the west side includes a centrally placed foundation plaque within the lean-to. All windows and the plaque are framed with stone surrounds.
