These four delightful almshouses, in an Arts and Crafts style, are numbers 15 to 18 Church Street. They were built in 1881 to replace some earlier almshouses. Constructed of rubble stone to the ground floor with a half-timbered upper floor, all under a tiled roof. Listed, grade II with details at: https://cadwpublic-api.azurewebsites.net/reports/listedbuilding/FullReport?lang=&id=8982 (number 15), https://cadwpublic-api.azurewebsites.net/reports/listedbuilding/FullReport?lang=&id=8983 (number 16), https://cadwpublic-api.azurewebsites.net/reports/listedbuilding/FullReport?lang=&id=8984 (number 17) and https://cadwpublic-api.azurewebsites.net/reports/listedbuilding/FullReport?lang=&id=8985 (number 18). Knighton is a somewhat remote market town gaining its charter in 1203. It is sited on the River Teme some 60 miles north of Cardiff. It lies on the Welsh/English border, with a small part in Shropshire, including its railway station. Originally an Anglo-Saxon settlement, Knighton is located on Offa's Dyke, the ancient earthwork that divided the two countries. It later became a Norman defensive border town.
