The Almshouses, Grade I listed almshouse in Church Street, Stratford-upon-Avon, England.
The Almshouses stand alongside the Guildhall, featuring traditional timber and stone construction with individual residential units arranged around a central courtyard.
The Guild of the Holy Cross constructed these almshouses between 1417 and 1428, originally providing homes for elderly and needy guild members.
Following the Reformation, the buildings transitioned to the Stratford-upon-Avon Corporation in 1553, maintaining their function as residences for local elderly citizens.
The property now contains 11 modernized units, each equipped with private kitchen and bathroom facilities, plus access to a shared garden and lounge.
Census records reveal diverse former inhabitants, including a 96-year-old basket maker named Ephraim Pulley, who resided in these historic accommodations.
