Description
The Trinity Almshouses, comprising numbers 1-4 and 5-8 Baker Street, were built in the 18th century as a group of almshouses located south and north of the nearby Holy Trinity Church. They are constructed of coursed, squared, rock-faced sandstone with natural slate roofs. Designed with a double-depth plan, the almshouses are in a restrained Tudor style. Each range is one storey high and has four windows. Two porches are shared by each range, accessed via three 2-centred Tudor arches framing a wider 4-centred arch, with decorative timber columns and spandrels. Inside the porches are Tudor-style planked doors and porch seats. They feature gables with scalloped bargeboards, a central drop over the main windows, which are 2-light mullion-and-transom casements. The roofs are steeply pitched with tall Tudor-style chimneys featuring paired diamond-set flues. The almshouses, along with Holy Trinity Church and the Vicarage, form a coherently designed architectural group. The rear elevation has not been inspected, nor has the interior.
