Built sometime in the 18th century the building was the original village poorhouse then workhouse until 1835 when it converted into private residences. Later it was further converted into a single residence before another conversion in 1929 when they were turned into six private almshouses by local resident Margaret Norris for whom the building was then named after. The rear part abut onto Station Road the current A272 but originally a minor farm lane to Brownings Farm whilst the front faces onto the churchyard. See Image for the front view.
