Circa 1670 almshouses erected by Alderman P Jemmett of London, possibly a conversion
of a C16 open-fronted brick shed. (Trans Newbury Field Club 6, 157). The original
almshouses consisted of one-up and one-down with a wide fireplace and a semi-circular
newel staircase. Extensively reconstructed 1929 as homes for retired nurses. An
inscription panel states: Farm buildings 1550/J H Winchcombe/Almshouses 1670/
Philip Jemmet/Reconditioned 1929/W Essex Wynter. Wing plan. Two storeys with
gable attic dormers. Tiled roof. Red brick ground floor, partly rendered.
Timber framed 1st floor with close studding and plaster panels. Mostly 2-light
casement windows with leaded lights. The part has gabled central 2 storey porch
and over the entrance is reset an ancient, somewhat weathered achievement of the
Arms of the Brewers Company dated 1670. At the rear are 2 gables. Jemmett's
almshouses were successively known as Church Cottages, Raymond's Buildings and
St Bartholomew's Close.
