built in 1795 by Dorothy and Philadelphia Percy, daughters of
the Duke of Northumberland, to provide for 6 poor widows of
the Church of England; Nos 1-3 at the north end, and probably
also Nos 10-12 at the south, were added in 1859 by the

considerable additions at the rear were made. Yellow brick set
