GV II
Almshouses, dated 1898, comprising 3 blocks of building and linking screen
walls: a row of 4 almshouses under one roof, a matron's house incorporating
a chapel, and between these a block of washhouses. All of coursed squared
sandstone, in Gothic style, with steeply-pitched and hipped roofs of
hexagonal slates (fleur-de-lys finials to gable copings) and octagonal
chimneys with moulded caps. All of one storey. The row of almshouses is
symmetrical, has a tall gable in the centre (with a decorated tablet), 4
low gabled porches (one at each end and 2 flanking the centre), and 6 stone
mullioned windows. At the left end is a screen wall with a gabled arched
doorway flanked by arched window openings, which links with a matching but
simpler block of 4 washhouses, which is similarly linked to the matron's
house. This incorporates as a crosswing at its left end a chapel with a
tall gable terminating in a bellcote (with bell); there is one rectangular
window with 3 cusped lights and a hoodmould in each gable of the chapel,
above these a stone tablet lettered "THE FRANCES DARLINGTON CHARITY".
Interior of chapel: glazed tiled walls, stained glass windows, and marble
memorial tablet to Frances Darlington (d. 1897) which states, inter alia,
that she laid the foundation stone of the church (Christ Church, q.v.).
