Dr Charles Alfred Lee (1825-1912) left funds of £200,000 from his estate to build a complex of 16 detached blocks, each containing eight flats, intended as charitable housing for the elderly. The buildings are arranged around a quadrangle of grass and gardens, with a central pavilion containing a reading room and clock tower with a cupola.
