Originally a house dating from the 1500s, Henry Rogers left a sum to help the poor in 1672 and so established the almshouses. Over the course of history, the houses also served as a prison and parish school, before resuming as accommodation in the nineteenth century. With the facilities being in a parlous state (piped water did not arrive until the 1950s), the almshouses were comdemned in 1967 and forced a major renovation. Grade II listed.
