These almshouses were built in 1927 by Oliver Hind of Edwalton Hall. Plaques either side of the gate record that they were built in memory of his parents and of his brother, Lt Col Lawrence Hind MC, killed leading his battalion on the first day of The Somme, and a nephew, Lt Jesse Hind, wounded at Gallipoli and killed at Thiepval on The Somme.
