A view from the elevated graveyard of the former 14th century parish church situated obliquely opposite these Grade II-listed almshouses. Ahead is Cow Lane, sloping eastwards towards the Bramcote Hills area, where it connects with the A52 (a.k.a. Derby Road and Brian Clough Way). These four homes were constructed in 1852 courtesy of an endowment left by Frances Jane Longden, the sister of John Sherwin Gregory, a previous owner of the former Bramcote Manor. The latter was demolished in 1960. The almshouses were renovated and modernised in 1984-5 with the aid of a grant from Broxtowe Borough Council. Cow Lane appears on Chapman's map of 1774.
