The Mary Warner Almshouses

These almshouses stand just west of Boyton parish church. The original middle range was built in 1736. The left wing was added in 1828 and the opposite wing was built in 1860. Mary Warner was a member of a well known Suffolk family that owned much land in these parts and she had made provision in her will that these almshouses were to be built to house six poor women and six poor men who were to be given a yearly allowance of 50 shillings.
