The old Vicar's Poor Houses

North Bradley has a long history of agricultural and cottage industries, with some times being more prosperous than others. During the leaner times people became all but destitute and efforts were made to help them. Step forward one Charles Daubeny: he built the almshouses (later called asylum) and school in 1810 near the Southwick Road. By 1818 he had opened the Vicar’s poor house for destitute people on Church Lane. These were later sold on as St Nicholas Cottages in the 1960s.
