Richard Huish Homes

Richard Huish Homes are almshouses founded by Richard Huish, who died in 1615, intended "for 13 poor, needy, maimed, impotent and aged men." They were rebuilt in the second half of the 19th century. The building has a long front facing the street, with the right end projecting forward. It is two storeys high, constructed from coursed rubble with Mill Hill stone dressings, and features a slate roof with ridge cresting. There are two gables on the right side, one with a hipped roof and a gabled dormer, and the other with a half hipped roof, both topped with finials.

On the first floor, there are four windows to the left that rise with gablets into the roof, each consisting of two lights with stone mullions. The ground floor has six windows set in arched recesses, featuring an impost string course, and includes traceried windows with triple lancets. The section that projects on the right has a mix of two and three-light stone mullioned windows. The entrance is accessed by four steps leading to a moulded pointed archway with double wooden doors. To the left, there is a slightly lower extension without windows. Adjoining this is a two-centred archway with a gable finial and pinnacles, also with double wooden doors.
