Those distinctive looking black-and-white beamed houses you see in front of you were originally built as almshouses. Almshouses first appeared in Britain a thousand years ago, offering poor, old and distressed people somewhere to live. A charity would own the building and charge low rent to residents. These ones were built in 1895 by the Beauchamp family.
