Details

BOVEY TRACEY EAST STREET (south side) SX 8178 Bovey Tracey Tracey Almshouses Nos. 35-43 (odd) 11/61 including 2 earlier granite - uprights attached to front wall and the cap of agatepost at the east end GV II

Row of 5 almshouses. Built in 1910, in a style reminiscent of the early and mid C19. Solid, roughcast walls. Slated roof. 3 rendered chimneystacks on ridge : one on right-hand gable, one just off-centre to right, and the third off-centre to left, between Nos. 41 and 43. 2 storeys. 5-window front, the centre bay (comprising No. 39) projecting slightly and with a low-pitched gable rising above eaves-level: the gable has overhanging eaves and plain bargeboards. Windows are of 2 lights with wood mullions and iron casements, the latter with decorative catches internally and diamond-shaped leaded panes. The ground-storey windows and the centre second-storey windows have straight hood-moulds. Simple plank doors flanked by wooden uprights, ovolo-moulded on the edges and with raised run-out stops; the tops of the uprights, presumably some sort of hood, are missing. No. 43 has a later wooden hood with slated pent roof. The doors are asymmetrically placed. At the right-hand side the doors of Nos. 35 and 37 are paired, with a window at either side. In the centre, the door of No. 39 is at the left-hand edge, with the window centrally placed to the right of it. At the left-hand side the doors of Nos. 41 and 43 are placed at the left and right ends respectively, each with a window on its inner side. In the apex of the gable is a granite plaque with the inscription: "1910. These alms houses were built in loving memory of Mrs A M Tracey died Sept. 13th 1902 and of her son P W Tracey. Give thanks unto the Lord!" The gable-walls have no windows, but the eaves overhang and are finished with plain bargeboards, the bargeboards on the east gable having in addition a horizontal 'collar'; in September 1984 the bargeboards on the west and front gables had similar collars. In front of the almshouses is a narrow cobbled pavement, presumably dating from 1910, with granite kerbstones. Interiors not inspected. At the right-hand end of the cobbled pavement is a granite column with moulded cap and base, probably of the C16 or C17. At left-hand end is an oblong-section granite post, chamfered on one side and with a rounded step-stop at its foot. Next to the post on the east is a stone rubble gatepost with a reused piece of carved granite, tapered and with a crenellated top, as a cap; probably C16.
