Description
Almshouses (Elusendy = 'house of benevolence') built in about 1740. A two storey vernacular building, with a symmetrical U-plan and steep-pitched gable ends. It originally comprised ten single room apartments, later amalgamated into five, one up, one down. All the stairs and partitions are modern and some windows have been enlarged.
