There are several sets of Ogilvie Almshouses in the area around Aldeburgh, Thorpeness and Leiston. These are the best-known, being in the middle of the holiday village of Thorpeness, but we also have Image and Image not very far away. The Thorpeness set seen here were constructed around 1926 as homes for estate staff, and attracted their own Grade II listing https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1228271 & https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101228271-ogilvie-almshouses-aldringham-cum-thorpe in 1983.
