These Elizabethan-styled almshouses were built in 1840 to a design by Thomas Larkin Walker to house the poor of Bedworth. They replaced an earlier building, on a different site, and are named after Nicholas Chamberlaine, Rector of Bedworth from 1664 until his death in 1715. Chamberlaine left money to establish the almshouses and today they provide sheltered accommodation for 28 residents.
