Description

The Trinity Almshouses, located on Baker Street, consist of two similar ranges, with Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4 situated to the south of the church and Nos. 5, 6, 7, and 8 to the north. These almshouses are constructed from coursed, squared, rock-faced sandstone and feature natural slate roofs. Designed in a restrained Tudor style, each single-storey range has a double depth plan and includes four main windows along with two shared porches. The porches are accessed through three Tudor arches, with two 2-centred arches flanking a wider 4-centred arch, and are adorned with decorative timber columns and spandrels. Inside the porches, there are Tudor style planked doors and porch seats. The gables are decorated with scalloped bargeboards that have 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. The Holy Trinity Church, the Almshouses, and the Vicarage together create a coherently designed group. The rear elevation and interior were not inspected during the resurvey.
