Description
RCHME survey of Winnock's Almshouses on south side of Military Road, 'a long block of tenements of red brick. It was built c1678 and is a good example of the brickwork of the period. The N front is divided into two bays by pilasters and into storeys by a continuous entablature; the middle bay has a plain pediment and the two middle doorways are combined to form an architectural composition with pilasters surmounted by half-balls and a broken voluted pediment; under the pediment are two sunk panels with the initials and date IWM 1678. The doors to the six tenements are original and have each two large panels, bolection-moulded. The back is plain but the doors to the ground floor mostly have old frames'.<1>
