Description


NEEDHAM MARKET HIGH STREET (WEST)
TM 0854

3/80 No. 67, (The Almshouses)

9.12.55

- II

Almshouses, C16 or C17 with major alterations of 1836 as described on tablet
over entrance. Timber-framed, encased at the front and left-hand gable in
gault brick; plastered at the rear. Slated roof; bargeboards with undulating
soffits. An axial chimney of 1836, gault brick with 4 flues, of quatrefoil
plan. 2 storeys, 5 windows. Sash windows with six panes, the upper three
having arcaded heads; above each window is a prominent hood-mould of painted
brick. A set-forward central bay has a 4-centred arched entrance doorway, the
door recessed with sunk vertical panels. In the entrance hall are a pair of
carved oak figures, one on either side of the doorway. They are in the C15
manner and of high quality. Said to have been part of the original front
elevation, but perhaps more likely to be of ecclesiastical origin.
