Sir James Thynne’s alms houses are a two-storey stone building with stone slate roof. They were founded in 1655 by a bequest of Sir James Thynne of Longleat, who left money for the support of six poor men and two poor women, along with money to buy each of them a new cloak each year. On the gable end facing the road is a wooden clock face and a louvred bellcote, both added in the 19th century. They continue to serve their original purpose, providing accommodation for six elderly people.
