Title The Langton Almshouses, Langton - Standing Building Appraisal and Photographic Survey
Author/Originator
Date/Year 2005
HER Report no. 3345

Abstract/Summary

Report on a detailed building survey, conducted to inform proposed renovation of the former almshouses at Langton by Horncastle. The buildings were in a derelict state at the time of survey, with scaffolding and a temporary cover protecting them. Some original features remained, however, including some decorative Dutch arch brickwork around the windows, some of which still had their original wooden frames. Internal features such as fireplaces and a beehive oven were also present. Features relating to early alterations to the houses also survived, including wooden thumb-latch doors and an iron cooking range installed into an older inglenook (although in poor condition). Trace remains of an early mud and stud partition wall was also present, though the wall itself had not survived. {1}
