John Rawson rebuilt the property in 1862 as a memorial to
his only child, Gertrude Elizabeth.
They were then known as Rawson's Almshouses.
Rawson set up a trust whereby each occupant received 5/- per
week.
In the 1950s, the income from the property was 16 5/- and this was
uneconomical compared to the £3,000 which was needed for
repairs.
The charity could not afford the upkeep, and the property was
demolished in the 1960s to make way for new housing and shops.
