Almshouses near St. James Church by Beausoleil Star this if you like it!
The Almshouses were built in 1612 to provide accommodation for six poor men and six poor women who were allowed the accommodation, a weekly allowance, a frieze gown, a ton of coals and a felt hat annually. The Almshouses still provide homes for twelve elderly people with the exception of the addition of a modern bathroom and kitchen.
