Description
Trinity Almshouses consist of two similar ranges located on Baker Street, with Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4 to the south of the church and Nos. 5, 6, 7, and 8 to the north. They are constructed from coursed, squared, rock-faced sandstone and feature natural slate roofs. The almshouses have a double depth plan and are designed in a restrained Tudor style. Each single-storey range includes four main windows and two shared porches, which are accessed through three Tudor arches. The arches include two 2-centred ones flanking a wider 4-centred arch, supported by decorative timber columns and spandrels. Inside the porches, there are Tudor style planked doors and porch seats. The gables have scalloped bargeboards with a central drop over the main windows, which are 2-light mullion-and-transom casements. The roofs are fairly steeply pitched and feature tall Tudor-style chimneys with paired diamond set flues. Holy Trinity Church, the Almshouses, and the Vicarage create a coherently designed group. The rear elevation and interior were not inspected.
