Four almshouses in single composition. Dated on plaque 1885.
Founded by Alfred Milward. Rock-faced squared and coursed
rubble with ashlar dressings and ridge stacks; clay tile roof
with contrasting bands of fish-scale tiles and plain tiles;
wooden bargeboards.
STYLE: Gothic Revival.
PLAN: double-depth plan, with four units composed within a
symmetrical composition.
EXTERIOR: 2-storey; 4-window range. South facade with
projecting gabled wings to each end and central recessed 2-bay
section with smaller half-dormer gables through the eaves
line. Ground-floor windows are 3-light mullions with
Carnarvon-arched heads, dripstones and small-pane casements;
upper floor has similar windows of 2 lights. Central 2 bays
have a lean-to porch extending between the flanking wings. 2
plank doors to centre, further plank doors in gabled porches
to each return facade. The high level of ornamentation
includes rusticated quoins, decorative tiled roof, 2 elaborate
coats of arms to each wing between windows, ammonites set
below the gables of each wing and a central plaque with
inscription recording the foundation of the building by Alfred
Milward to house aged married couples.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
HISTORICAL NOTE: 1885 is late for this kind of vernacular
Gothic style, but the building is a good and remarkably
well-preserved example of its type.
