Domestic Revival style.
EXTERIOR: 2 identical blocks. Each block symmetrically planned
with paired 2-storeyed central gables flanked by single-storey
entrance blocks linked to low gabled outer wings. Central

to ground floor, with stepped mullioned windows in attic
storey above. Leaded glazing. Stone ribs and bands form
hoodmould to lower windows. Half-timbering in upper storey.
Overhanging eaves with finials and cresting to gable roofs.
Stepped mullioned and transomed windows with leaded glazing in

leaded loft-lights. Triple doorways (renewed) in low blocks
linking these gables. Axial stacks between central gables and
to rear of outer gables, with moulded brick caps.
Inscription on bargeboards of gables, partially mutilated, but
recording 'the days of my labour o lord though hast blest.
Blest be the hand .. the love .. and on the days of my rest';
'the lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from
this time forth for evermore'.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
The design of the almshouses was attributed to Norman Shaw by
MH Miller, a local historian writing in 1891.
