Church on Victoria Street dating from around 1842. Together with the associated almshouses, the end of which are on the left of the photo, it was designed by Thomas Wyatt and funded by a Miss Rachel Herbert. Miss Herbert was the daughter of a local iron dealer and founded the almshouses to house "poor women, being members of the Church of England, of good character, and of not less than 60 years of age" with a further proviso that they came from one of three local parishes. The Trustees of her estate still administer the almshouses. Both the church and the almshouses are grade II listed - see https://cadwpublic-api.azurewebsites.net/reports/listedbuilding/FullReport?lang=&id=2383 and (for example) https://cadwpublic-api.azurewebsites.net/reports/listedbuilding/FullReport?lang=&id=86788 respectively.
