Almshouses, 1-5 Mancetter Road

1 Dating to 1822 a single story range in whitened brick with cambered and latticed 3-light casements and ledged doors. Unusual cast iron verandah, carried on slim gothic shafts forming 12 pointed arches, the spandrels filled with open trefoiled work and the whole embattled.
