Grade II* Listed Napper's Mite was founded in 1615 by Sir Robert Napper for 10 poor men after the great fire of Dorchester 2 years earlier. It was completed by his son Nathaniel Napper in 1616. There were 10 1-storey dwellings arranged along the front and round the inner courtyard. The room over the front range was used for Bible instruction. All buildings have been much restored, the front apparently re-faced in 1842.
