Two identical large blocks, one and a part of the other visible here, and several smaller houses typified by the building on the left. The large blocks are grade II listed buildings, dated 1791 and 1803 for the one to the right. A detail of the inscription on the pediment for the 1791 building is here Image Rather oddly, the name of the Almshouses (at least for this block) does not correspond to the stated benefactor, Arthur Winsley. However, on older maps, before the smaller houses were built, the two big blocks are indeed called Winsley's Almshouses.
