PURVIS ALMS HOUSES

1893 
The Purvis Almshouses were conveyed upon trust in 1827, to permit from five to seven poor aged women, and one poor aged
man, to dwell free from all rent and expense, the appointment resting with the rector of the parish, froim the inhabitants, whether
legally settled or not, “such persons only to be chosen who by their poverty should be wholly incapable for providing
themselves with lodging without great difficulty, who bear a good, sober, industrious, honest, and peaceable character, and are
regular in their attendance at their parish church.”
The Rector may turn them out of the almshouses whom he may judge “by their disorderly or improper conduct, by wilful
absence from church, or for any other cause.”
£500 Three per cent Consolidated Bank Annuities was settled upon trust after paying the costs of the trust, to apply a
competent part of the dividends to repairs and distribute (after the death of Amy Loetitia Purvis) the residue in coals, clothing
or money among the inmates of the cottages.

Beccles Almanack 
Almshouses for the reception of aged widows in reduced circumstances are situated in Fair Close.

Blyburgate LL

This building has a crow step gable, and appears to be jettied on its south side.
Looking at an etching done of the street by the slicitor and local historian, SW Rix, in about 1840 or 1850, only the southern
gable was built at that time and from this a lamp was suspended.
