Hawkhurst: Dunk's Almshouses and School
Image: © Stefan Czapski Taken: 9 Sep 2017
The school occupied the square central block, with ranges of almshouses on either side. A tablet on the school block reads: GIVEN BY Sr THOMAS DUNK Kt 1723 What is clear is that most of the 1723 details (including windows) have been lost - almshouses, after all, have to be kept in habitable condition. The Dunk's site is on the north side of the Rye road, opposite the unsightly disused church http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2516405 and (these days) Waitrose.
