Almshouses, sited directly opposite All Saints' church. The building dates from 1681, though it is clear that much renewal has taken place over the centuries. Church and almshouses were founded by Sir Stephen Fox, a local man of humble origins who became a member of Charles II's court, first joining him during his period of exile.
