Built by the Guild of the Holy Cross in 1427-8. The Grade I listing explains why these almshouses are historically significant: "The group, which dates from the early C15, forms a large and uniform composition. The use of so much timber in the close-studded walling, a bracketed jetty and the oriel windows all mark this as a prestigious project with accomplished carpentry".
