The Tollemache Almshouses

A redbrick & terracotta terrace in Ham Street largely retaining its original 1892 appearance.

Hams first almshouses were 2 cottages by the Common gates but the pictured terrace was endowed by the Hon Mrs Tollemache of Ham House as a memorial to her late husband Algernon. The endowment provided 7 shillings per week to each occupant. The terrace comprised three houses for married couples and three for single persons.
