Eastgate, Sleaford, Lincs.
The east range of the Carre’s Hospital Almshouses, seen on the left, were built in 1830 whilst the south range - directly ahead - were built between 1841-6. The almshouses were built on the site of the former Carres family home. They were bequeathed by Robert Carre to accommodate 12 poor men, although this was increased to 18 in 1872. The Carres were one of the most prominent families in Sleaford in the C16th and C17th. Originally from Northumberland, George Carre, a wool merchant, had settled in Sleaford by 1522. His son, Robert (died 1590), went on to purchase the castle and manor of New Sleaford from Lord Clinton. His eldest surviving son, also Robert (died 1606), founded the town's Grammar School in 1604. There were several rebuilding phases and the chapel during the C19th. These almshouses are Grade II* listed.
