Alms houses Thornton-le-Dale

Alms houses Thornton-le-Dale
In 1670, 12 almshouses and a school were built, thanks to an endowment left by Elizabeth, Viscountess Lumley who had died years earlier; her family had owned much of the land in the area. The buildings, between the village green and the bridge, are supported by the Lady Lumleys Almshouse Trust. In 2014, a major renovation was completed on the 12 bungalows by the Trust on the Grade II listed buildings in 2014. They have been inhabited for some time as age-specific housing.
