St. Cross Hospital, Brethren's lodgings

St Cross Hospital and Almshouse of Noble Poverty is a medieval almshouse, founded between 1133 and 1136. It is the oldest charitable institution in the United Kingdom. The founder was Henry de Blois, Bishop of Winchester, grandson of William the Conqueror, half brother to King Stephen of England. The Brethren's Quarters or Almshouses were built during the Bishopric of Cardinal Beaufort in the early C15. There are fourteen 2-storey almshouses with one tall shafted chimney to each house.
