Description
Hickman's Almshouses, located at 16 Church Street, were founded in 1695 and rebuilt in 1871, as noted on a stone tablet on the front. This building is two storeys high and constructed of red and vitreous brick with a tile roof in the Gothic style. The design features an unsymmetrical arrangement with a triple-gabled front facing Parsons Fee, along with elaborate romantic chimneys that have clustered diagonal shafts and corbelled and shaped heads. The windows are three and four-light casements, and the doors are topped with moulded brick arches. The almshouses are included for their historical significance and somewhat picturesque value. They form a group with Nos 8 to 12 (even) and No 16.
