Faversham Almshouses are Grade II-listed almshouses in Faversham, Kent. They are operated by the trustees of Faversham Municipal Charities.[1]

History

Almshouses for six widows were founded and endowed by Thomas Mendfield in 1614.[2]

In 1721 Thomas Napleton founded and endowed houses for six men.[3]

In 1840, Henry Wreight, local solicitor and former Mayor of Faversham, gave a bequest which enabled the rebuilding of the almshouses on a grand scale.[2] The architects were Hooker and Wheeler of Brenchley, Kent and the rebuilding was complete by 1863.[2] The builder was G W Chinnock Bros of Southampton.[4]

The accommodation was modernised in 1982 at a cost of £Шаблон:Format price (about £Шаблон:Format price as of 2024).
