Queen Elizabeth's Almshouses, Richmond, Historic almshouses in Richmond, England
The Queen Elizabeth's Almshouses stand as residential buildings with traditional architectural elements, providing sheltered housing units for older residents in Richmond.
Sir George Wright established these almshouses in 1600 to house eight poor women, and they were later rebuilt in 1767 through public subscription funds.
The almshouses represent a long-standing tradition of community support, offering accommodation to residents aged 65 and above who face housing difficulties.
Richmond Charities manages these residential units, which include shared gardens and facilities, with specific accommodations designed for wheelchair accessibility.
The current structure, dating from 1955, replaced the previous buildings that sustained damage during World War II, maintaining its charitable purpose.
