This row of almshouses, overlooking St Peter's churchyard, were built in 1728, paid for by James Cramer, a local man who had made his fortune as a goldsmith in London. They housed six men over the age of 60 who were required to attend church on Sundays and holy days if they were well enough. The almshouses were renovated in 1990-91.
