The first six almshouses were built in 1795 by Mrs Margaret Marriot, to commemorate her friends Dorothea and Philadelphia Percy. They were to be occupied by six poor widows who were members of the Church of England.
Over sixty years later, in 1859, another six houses were added by the Reverend Henry Wagner. These were for six 'poor maidens'.
