Sir Walter Montague Almshouses

The Sir Walter Montague Almshouses are a 17th-century range of almshouses. The walls are roughcast rendered and painted, topped with a slate roof featuring tall rendered square stacks with clustered pots. The building consists of three two-storey houses, each with five gables that have short finials and eaves projecting between them, along with decorative bargeboards. Each gable has one window, while the ground floor has seven windows, which are either 3-light or 2-light leaded diamond-pane casements. These windows have wooden frames with metal casements and moulded wooden mullions beneath hoodmoulds. The entrance features a square-headed doorway with a heavy moulded door frame and a vertically panelled door adorned with ornamental iron hinges. The almshouses also have a painted plinth.
