Mary Lyne's Almshouses
This fine terrace of almshouses is at the heart of the New Lane Hill conservation area.
British History Online says this:-
"Mary Lyne's Almshouses.
—In 1851, by indenture dated 11 January (enrolled), Mary Lyne gave a piece of land, on which she erected six cottages to be used as almshouses, which the founder endowed with £4,000 consols. The inmates were to be chosen, three from the parish of Burghfield and three from the parish of Tilehurst, and were to be widows without encumbrances, or unmarried, of sixty years or upwards belonging to the Church of England and of respectable character. The endowment now consists of £4,940 16s. 6d. with the official trustees (including a gift in 1884 by the Rev. John William Routh of £200 consols), producing an income of £123 10s. 4d. Each inmate receives an allowance of 5s. a week with an additional 30s. a year for clothing, three-quarters of a ton of coal, and is expected to attend divine service regularly."
