Now run by a charitable organisation to provide sheltered housing for local ladies ('of good character'), these 6 almshouses were originally built in 1853 'to house spinsters of the village' on the proceeds of a bequest by Anne Castledine. They were extensively refurbished in 2007 and reopened soon after.
