The Yorke Almshouses. Forthampton
Image: © Philip Pankhurst Taken: 25 Aug 2018
A row of 4 almshouses, built for Joseph Yorke of Forthampton Court by none other than the great William Burges, 1863-4. Clearly the inmates of today are more fitness conscious than their Victorian forbears. The Yorke arms are displayed in the two gabled ends, with their family crest as finials. Listed Grade II.
