Gatehouse and almshouses. 1862-64 by P.C Hardwick. Brick with limestone dressings and tile roofs. The tower is of rectangular plan and has clasping buttresses and a parapet with blind tracery decoration. Its south wall has a moulded pointed doorway. Above are two tall narrow lights and a clock face. A steep slated pavilion roof is set back behind the parapet. Two chimneys with rubbed brick caps to right.

The almshouses have mullioned windows, mostly of three lights, with flush stone sill bands, and with blank trefoiled heads on the ground floor. The first floor windows project upwards into gabled dormers. To the right of the tower are two bays, with a pointed doorway between them. To the left are five bays with wide pointed doorways between the first and second, and the third and fourth. Above the doorways are timber dormers of two lights under a pyramid roof. A more irregular house with a single-storey lean-to links this range to one on the west side of the courtyard. This is similar except for a doorway to the right. C20 bathroom additions link this to a further range at right angles, facing south. This is of four bays with doorways and dormers to each side of the two centre bays. Adjoining to the west is a later addition dated 1889, of two bays in a similar style. The chimneys have gauged brick shafts of rubbed brick in a variety of patterns.
