tiled roofs. In a Jacobean style. To the street a symmetrical composition created
by a central matron's lodge and 2 wings stretching back from a flanking wall with
a single door in it just to the left of the matron's lodge. This has a shaped
gable; the wings have gables with lushly decorated tripartite panels containing
identical inscriptions and are surmounted by chimneys. The matron's lodge has at
ground level a tripartite mullioned and transomed window with, above, a tripartite
mullioned window with hood mould. The wall has a moulded capping stone which
continues across the facade of the wings as stringcourses. Within the precinct,

to both ground and first floors. Porches, each giving entry to 3 almshouses, rise
through 2 storeys. They are open on 3 sides at ground floor level, have a single
