Inscription in typanum of central entrance records 'A.D. 1848, These almshouses were erected to the memory of Caroline Bennion, late of Wrexham Fechan by her affectionate sisters. Faithful in the unremitting exercise of charity to the poor and every Christian virtue, she departed this life on the 6th February 1847'.

A good example of the Tudor Gothic style considered particularly appropriate for almshouse design, which externally retains much of its original character.
