Summary

This group of symmetrical buildings take the form of wings flanking a central hall. They were constructed in 1879 to house eight poor men from the parish of Shotesham who had previously been housed in a hospital in Greenwich. This Greenwich hospital was founded by Henry Howard, Earl of Northampton, in 1614. The Earl was born in Shotesham which explains why the hospital took men from the parish.
