Description
Nos. 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 on Daventry Road are a group of almshouses built in 1853. They are constructed from coursed squared ironstone with limestone dressings and feature a slate roof, along with brick stacks at the ends and ridges on rendered bases. The building is two storeys high and has a seven-window range. The central and end bays project forward and have stone-coped gables with kneelers that face the street.
A central chamfered doorway with a straight head and keyblock leads into a passage, where doors to Nos. 6 and 7 are located just inside. The doors on the inner sides of the bays and in the middle of the intermediate ranges have similar stone surrounds and are made of plank with ornamental hinges. Throughout the building, there are two-light cast-iron casements featuring octagonal and diamond-patterned lights, all with chamfered stone surrounds and keyblocks, except for the first-floor windows. A stone shield in the central gable is inscribed with "Norton Charity 1853." The interiors have not been inspected.
