Seymour Almshouses, Langley Marish
These almshouses stand on the north side of the churchyard, while the somewhat older Kederminster almshouses stand on its south side http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2309292. The two sets of buildings are generally similar - redbrick cottages, with gabled dormers. An inscription on the Kederminster buildings dates them to 1617, while these are said to date from the 1670's and 80's http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-38733-12-14-16-18-20-22-slough.

The Seymour Almshouses, Langley Marish, seen from the churchyard
These little 17th century cottages (they date from about 1680) still serve much their original purpose - as accommodation for old people. Architecturally, the red-brick parts are vernacular in style, much as they would have been if built a century earlier. The chimney stacks are set diagonally, as they would have been in Tudor times. But the doorways and the two-storey porch are a bit more 'architectural' - there is some Classical influence.
Those down-pipes seem a bit out of character - mightn't it be better to paint them black ? In earlier days there may have been chutes projecting from the eaves to throw rainwater clear - as at Kelmscott Manor in Oxfordshire:

Langley Marish: south transept of St Mary's Church
The south transept of the church houses the Kederminster Chapel. This must date from the early 17th century: 'A grant for the Kederminster Chapel was obtained from the Dean and Chapter of Windsor in 1613', according to Pevsner ('The Buildings of England: Buckinghamshire').
But for the tombstones you would take this to be part of a domestic building. Plain rectangular windows are seldom seen in churches - of any date.
