Eligibility

These homes are managed under the Nottingham Community Almshouse Charity and are for people aged 50 years and over who live or have lived in Clifton, Nottingham or Nottinghamshire.

Heritage

These cottages were built in 1709 by George Wells to provide housing for poor, unmarried or widowed women in the parish of Clifton in Nottingham. The residents were granted an allowance of 2s (10p) per week.

The central part of the almshouses bears the following inscription: “I to God’s glory dedicate this place, inspired thereto by his most holy grace. May his great name forever here be praised, then my ambition to its pitch is raised.”

The almshouses were improved in 2006, with the help of an interest-free loan from the Almshouse Association. NCHA assumed sole corporate trusteeship of these almshouses in 2007, after acting as managing agent for the charity for 10 years.
