This row of seven, two-storey almshouses in brown slatestone, which are probably 17th century in origin and in a Tudor style, was enlarged and rebuilt by the Reverend Thomas Boweller in 1849 as a wall plaque commemorates. They are located at the top of Pilton Street and along the southern boundary of St Mary’s Churchyard with access to the church through a tall cartway in the centre. They stand in a crucial position in Pilton and are an important foil to the Church of St Mary.
