## Hungerford Almshouses
In 1668, Lady Margaret Hungerford, widow of Sir Edward Hungerford, established the Hungerford Almshouses in Corsham, Wiltshire, to provide homes for six poor individuals and education for ten children. The L-shaped building features six cottages for single women along its north-east side, each with a gable and mullioned windows; at the centre is a Baroque carving of the Hungerford arms. The west side includes the warden's house and a combined schoolroom and chapel, with an elaborately embellished full-height porch. The almshouses have been designated as a Grade I listed building.
