The Yorke Almshouses, Nos. 14–17 Church Row, Forthampton, Gloucestershire, England, are a range of four almshouses designed by the architect William Burges in 1865. The block is a Grade II listed building and the almshouses remain private residences.
History and description
Burges designed the almshouses in 1865.
Alan Brooks, in the revised 2002 Gloucestershire volume of Pevsner's Buildings of England series, describes the Yorke almshouses as "a thin row, with gables bearing the Yorke arms and their crest as finials".[1] They are built of limestone, to a symmetrical design, with a fish scale tiled roof. The complete block is designated a Grade II listed building.[2]
