Abingdon: Long Alley Almshouses

The almshouses were originally built in 1446, and the façade was added in 1605. Behind the wooden window openings is a covered walkway. The pots of the very tall chimneys at the rear of the almshouses are just visible over the ridge of the roof. The almshouses look out here onto the churchyard of St Helen's Church.
