Dr Milley's Hospital, Medieval almshouse in Lichfield, England
The three-story stone building on Beacon Street features medieval architecture with Tudor elements, incorporating a chapel above its entrance porch.
Founded in 1424 by Bishop Heyworth and re-established in 1502 by Canon Thomas Milley, the hospital provided accommodation for fifteen impoverished women.
The building maintains its original purpose as an almshouse for women, reflecting centuries of charitable housing traditions in English communities.
Current residents occupy ten modern apartments within the Grade II* listed building, which includes shared facilities like a common room and garden.
Each year on June 24th, residents present ten red roses to the Bishop of Lichfield, continuing a tradition that dates from the 1424 land grant.
