These town centre almshouses are grade I listed (entry 1232341). The listing dates them to 1635 but says the foundation of almshouses in the town dates was with Robert Gray in 1015, which if correct would make it one of the earliest such foundations in the country (the website almshouses.org dates the earliest to 990).
