The old almshouses
Wells has a generous history of providing shelter for its less fortunate citizens. This row of almshouses in Chamberlain Street is the current version of homes originally started in 1436. Bishop Still left in his will of 1614 the provision for more houses here, also known as Bubwith Almshouses. The trustees approved a major rebuilding in 1884, which are seen here. The almshouses are Grade II* listed. See Image] for a look at the other side.
