A set of almshouses which are located out of shot to the left which were built in 1922 from land and money bequeathed by philanthropist John Howard for retired nurses. By the 21st century the trusteeship had been inherited by the Royal College of Nursing who had come to find the costs of maintaining the buildings too expensive and had considered selling in 2008. A successful campaign by residents saw ownership pass to the vicar and wardens of St George's church in 2010. The cottages are screened by a large hedge from Roedean Road allowing for privacy but leaving just the separate lodge visible from a public place.
