Photocopy Ordnance Survey description (S2) in file.
R. J. Rickett (NAU), 5 February 1990.

However (S3) notes that the landscape gardener Kennedy proposed rebuilding and perhaps resiting the almshouses in 1819. Was this done? Was this another rebuilding before 1870, or is the latter date incorrect?
E. Rose (NLA), 19 September 2000.
