St Anne's Almshouses

All thirteen Almshouses were recently refurbished in a major project to modernise the fabric of the buildings. Each house is lived in by a single lady, as set out in the original Trust Deeds and are built around a quiet, cobbled courtyard. It has been described as 'one of the most peaceful and perfectly preserved places in the Eden Valley.'

If you see any of the residents, just say hello! They are often happy to tell you more about the building’s history. You can ask to see inside the chapel, and a small donation for its upkeep is always appreciated.
