English Heritage-listed almshouses built by Georgina Talbot in 1862 as part of her model village Image Could accommodate 14 people in 7 units; each had a pig sty & poultry run. Coal, doctor's fees, an allowance, building upkeep and burial expenses were paid for. At my visit, I couldn't detect pigs or poultry! http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=101887&mode=adv
