This is the southern end of a row of 20 almshouses, slightly better seen in Image, which were founded in 1887 by Margaret Ogilvie, the widow of a well-known local man Alexander Ogilvie. The whole building, which is currently undergoing a programme of rolling repairs and refurbishment according to one resident I spoke to, was Grade II listed https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1215899 & https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101215899-the-ogilvie-almshouses-aldringham-cum-thorpe in 1983
