Heritage

The date stone is located just off the centre of the building with the wording, ‘Almshouses erected by Frances Jane Longden 1852.’ The patron was Frances Jane Longden, the sister of John Sherwin Gregory of Bramcote Manor.

This Grade II listed almshouse was built to provide accommodation for four poor members of the Church of England who lived in the ancient parish of Bramcote. The women were also to receive two shillings a week and two tonnes of coal each year. 

Nottingham Community Almshouse Charity assumed trusteeship in 2007.
