Formerly known as: Hill's Almshouses JACOB'S WELLS ROAD.
Almshouses. Dated 1867. By Charles Hansom. Red Pennant snecked
rubble, limestone dressings, ashlar ridge, lateral and
exterior stacks, and a tiled cross gabled roof with decorative
ridge tiles. Single-depth E-shaped plan, with rear chapel.
Tudor Gothic Revival style.
2 storeys; 10-window range. A near-symmetrical front has
projecting end gables and central full-height hipped porch,
and a flush raised area between the wings with a balustrade in
5 sections of trefoil-headed arches.
The porch has diagonal ground-floor buttresses, a 2-centred
arched blocked doorway with hood stops, and a 3-light mullion
and transom window above with carved shield panels. The wings
have roll-top copings to the gables and inner sub-gables,
heraldic finial with iron flag to the left one, and an
exterior stack to the right. Mullion and transom windows with
metal casements and stopped label moulds: the left gable has 2
ground-floor cross windows and a blind inner 2-centred arched
window with attached columns, and a first-floor canted oriel
with moulded base and upper panels with carved shields, and a
steep weathered top. Right gable has a similar inner arched
window, and two 1-light windows to the left of the stack.
Either side of the porch are 3-light windows, and inner
1-light windows, and in the returns are inner 2-centred arched
doorways, and 2-light arcades of 2-centred arched windows
beside them.
The right return has a 5-window range, with a right-hand
full-height canted bay with a steep hipped roof, 2 cross
windows to the left, and two 2-light windows to the middle
with a central plaque. Moulded eaves with carved heads. The
rear has projecting gables, linked by a 2-storey 9-bay
cast-iron verandah of 2-centre arches with trefoils in the
spandrels, a panelled screen below the first-floor windows,
all now with C20 glazing.
Doorways inside to individual flats have 2-centre arches and
strap hinges. The chapel has coped gables with gableted
kneelers, sill band, E window with shallow 2-centre arch and
3-light tracery window, and three 3-light side windows with
ogee heads. Stacks have corbelled cornices and chamfered
sides.
