Spot on MartinRHidden away around the corner from Clarendon house school in Ramsgate is this amazing Almhouse.
 "Almshouses For Poor Persons Of Good Character Of Not Less Than 60 Years Of Age Who Have Residen In The Parish For Not Less Than 15 Years."
These Almshouses were built, endowed and dedicated to the poor of the parish of St. George by the will of Frances Barber, for many years a resident in that town, in order to perpetuate the memory of her husband Francis Charles Barber and her only son William Charles Barber

Almhouse complex? It does remind me a bit of the ones Watts Charities have in Rochester.

This is a small Housing Complex built in 1897 and still functions, complete with a Chapel.
