10 Broadway, The Almshouses (Town Houses), Grantchester
History of 10 Broadway
Listed building:
Four almshouses, now single dwelling. C18 and C20. Mainly brick, painted, and tiled roof with repaired internal and end stacks.
In the late 1970s the Alms Houses were being reroofed to be a single dwelling. Just after they were newly thatched they caught fire, the building was gutted and it was reroofed with tiles.
They were by the trustees of the Town Lands Charity; the income came from the lease of the remaining ‘Town Lands’, two large fields on the outskirts of Newnham.
