Almshouses, 109-115, East Street, Newton Abbot, Devon
A group of 4 almshouses dating from 1845 are built in a Picturesque Tudor style. Lady Lucy Reynell, wife of the owner of Forde House Torquay Road, originally endowed the almshouses in 1640. She intended them to accommodate priests widows, "the relicts of preaching ministers, left poor, without a house of their own". The original building was in Torquay Road. It was demolished in 1790 and rebuilt in East Street nearer to the town centre.
