The building was designed by James Pigott Pritchett, in a Tudor Revival style. The building formerly had nine apartments and a chapel,[1] but in 1975, the chapel was converted into an additional apartment.[3][4] The front of the almshouses is of stone, and the rear of brick. The building is two storeys high, with a cellar. Its main part has nine windows on each floor, and there are wings at either end. The front has three entrance doors, while there are two doors in the right-hand facade, which overlooks Stonebow. Inside, movable panels partition the entrance halls. The original kitchen ranges survive, as do the first floor fireplaces, although these are now blocked.[3]
The warden's house
The warden's house has two storeys and a three bay front, and is built of stone. In the 20th century, a single-storey extension was added to the right of the building.[5] There is a tablet in the end wall, moved from the original building, which records its foundation. The buildings were Grade II listed in 1954; the gate piers and railings also form part of the listing.[3][5]
