Bitton was blessed by the construction of almshouses in 1859. The five homes were for 'aged married couples or surviving spouses, who shall be members of the Church of England and resident in Bitton for five years.' Above the lintel is the inscription "Frere Ayme Frere" - referring to brotherly love. The front lawns are part allotments.
