The old houses also boast a private chapel, of which the spire rises above the roofline. The Crispe brothers, Nicholas and Ellis, were local men who made their fortunes as merchants in London; they provided these almshouses for the benefit of their fellow villagers. Nicholas was a member of the Skinners' Company and Ellis the Salters' Company - hence the two coats of arms.
