October 1863, all eighteen residents moved from London to the
new almshouses in Church Road which were administered by the
Nicholas and Beamond Trust. A further eight houses were added
in 1974. In 1992 the Salters' Company sold a 110 year lease
to Warden Housing Association to manage and redevelop the almshouses.
