The Almshouse

To one side of the Hall is the Hospital built in 1730 to house four elderly Tailors - who from the start of the Guild could be men or women.  The almshouse was built on the original site of the Maison Dieu which was demolished in 1702. 

Today the Almshouse now forms the cottage for the caretaker.
