by fire. The Almshouses have now been re-built elsewhere. The front is of the
same greenish stone as the Church, It has a pedimented gable with a round
window. The lower storey has an arcade of 3 bays, the centre arch semi-circular,
the others segmental. Over the latter are sunk panels with now illegible inscriptions.
Projecting imposts and keystones. Pavement of knapped flint.

No 5 and the Gateway form a group with the Church.
