Bray: Jesus Hospital
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 14 Sep 2008
These almshouses were endowed through the munificence of William Goddard in his will in 1627. He allowed to provide for 40 persons of which 6 were to be aged fishmongers. The four sides, of which this is the front one, surround an internal quadrangle. This is the main entrance with the statue of William Goddard in the gable end. Over the front entrance is the sign advising that "Vagrants Hawkers & Dogs are not admitted". It is to be hoped that the reading standards of dogs in the Bray area are at a higher level than the national average. See Image for a view looking along the road outside.
