The board on the front of these almshouses names them as 'Gramer Cottages' although the man whose endowment paid for them is called James Cramer elsewhere. They were built in 1822 to supplement the older almshouses on the opposite side of the road by the churchyard, providing accommodation for five poor men. In the official grade II listing there is reference to a cast iron open verandah which can be seen in this 2004 photograph: Image For whatever reason the verandah has since been removed.
