Former Worcester warehouses converted to almshouses
The Almshouse Association was delighted to be represented at Worcester Municipal Charities on 13th January for the official opening of four splendid flats that the charity has created for the single homeless in the City Centre in what were two derelict warehouse annexes in the town.
Richard Inglethorpe, a wealthy benevolent brewer, originally donated six almshouses in his will of 1618 and the charity has developed to a great extent over the decades to the point that the new flats bring the total number of almshouse dwellings to 100. Due to the foresight, commitment and determination of the trustees yet more people in need in the area will be provided with safe, comfortable homes which are beautifully constructed and finished to a high standard. This is a great example of a long-established charity developing in modern times. Ā
