Tollemache Almshouses
The Tollemache Almshouses, also known as the Wilbraham Almshouses or Wilbraham's Almshouses, are six former almshouses in Nantwich, Cheshire, England. They are in two blocks of three cottages each, located on the north side of Welsh Row at numbers 118–128 (at ). The present buildings, which are listed at grade II, were erected in 1870 by John Tollemache (later created first Baron Tollemache) to replace adjacent almshouses founded by Sir Roger Wilbraham in 1613. The almshouses were modernised in 1980 and remain in residential use. The Hospital of St Lawrence, a medieval house for lepers, was possibly on or near the site of the present almshouses.
Nikolaus Pevsner considers Welsh Row "the best street of Nantwich".〔Pevsner, p. 289〕 The street has many listed buildings and is known for its mixture of architectural styles,〔Bavington ''et al''., plate 55〕 including timber-framed black-and-white cottages such as the Wilbraham's and Widows' Almshouses, Georgian town houses such as Townwell House and number 83, and Victorian buildings such as the former Grammar School, Primitive Methodist Chapel and Savings Bank.
==Hospital of St Lawrence==
(詳細はmedieval house for lepers whose date of foundation is unknown; it became a hospital for the infirm poor in around 1348. The hospital is known to have been situated well outside the medieval town of Nantwich within the parish of Acton, by the western entrance to the town on what is now Welsh Row. Although associated with an area adjacent to the old almshouses by Joseph Partridge, author of the first history of Nantwich, there is little or no direct evidence as to its precise location.〔Hall, pp. 53–54〕〔Lamberton & Gray, p. 12〕〔Garton 1972, pp. 8–9〕〔Garton 1983, p. 13〕
