Widows' Almshouses, Grade II listed almshouse on Welsh Row, Nantwich, England.
The three black-and-white timber-framed cottages at numbers 26-30 Welsh Row feature high-quality woodwork and traditional architectural elements from the 17th century.
Roger Wilbraham established these almshouses in 1676 as a memorial to his deceased wife, making them the first women's almshouses in Nantwich.
The buildings represent the English social welfare tradition of providing accommodation for widows through private philanthropy and community support.
Visitors can observe the historical mounting blocks beside the structure while exploring the surrounding Welsh Row neighborhood of Nantwich.
Each house originally contained two ground-floor rooms and one upper room, with two widows sharing the space divided by a line across the main room.
