GV II
Six terrace almshouses. 1843. By James Wilson. MATERIALS: Limestone ashlar, scallop-tiled roof formerly richly crested, with tall-paired stacks to returns and moulded stacks to axial valley. PLAN: Double depth plans. EXTERIOR: Two storeys. Nos. 1 and 6, projecting forward, have one-window fronts, Nos. 2-5 have two-window fronts. Casement windows with stone mullions and painted surrounds, cinquefoil heads, sunk spandrels, weathered sills and three panes to each leaf; hood-moulds with label stops above. Set back Tudor arched six-panel doors glazed to tops have label moulds on large blocks (possibly intended for carving). Sill band below first floor windows, paired cinquefoil-headed lights below gable, single lights over door; moulded string course, continuous with hood-moulds over windows, above. Continuous parapet with moulded coping rises over gable to each unit with shield or block to apex and flanked by kneelers. No.1 has three-light windows and thin offset buttresses to stepped forward front gable end. Simple enclosed porch to left return below window and gable in returned parapet flanked by external stacks to tall-paired octagonal shafts with crenellated parapets. Rear similar windows with diagonal leading and moulded sill string to first floor. INTERIORS: Not inspected. HISTORY: The original design (in the British Architectural Library, reproduced in Jackson, p.200) was intended to comprise sixteen individual almshouses with hall and chapel, in an institutional Tudor Gothic: had this ensemble been built in its entirety it would have comprised a grandly collegiate whole, emulating the Vicars' Close at Wells. As it stands, the row forms a good example of the final pre-Pugin phase of religious/philanthropic design. SOURCES: Neil Jackson, `Nineteenth Century Bath. Architects and Architecture¿ (1991), 200-01.
