The path running in front of the main entrances into these six two-bedroom almshouses runs parallel with Haydn Road. The Pennhome homes were built in 1878 at the expense of Maria Christian Cartwright, wife of S. Cartwright, Esq., a J.P., of Leasowes, Staffordshire, to shelter poor widows or spinsters whose fathers had been merchants, tradesmen or professional men, or for ladies in reduced circumstances. Mrs Cartwright was a native of Nottingham. The Nottingham Community Housing Association became the trustees of this small complex in 1995.
