Designed by two Kent architects, Hooker and Wheeler, and built in 1863, the almshouses consist of 70 units. They replaced several smaller almshouses scattered about the town and were funded by a bequest to the town by Henry Wreight (1760-1840), a local solicitor and former Mayor of Faversham. This is the western end of the building, viewed from Tanners Street.
