Britain's What's On Event Guide
The Fishermen's Hospital Almshouse Great Yarmouth
Heritage Open Day: Built in 1702, for ‘decayed’ fishermen, these splendid almshouses are at the north end of the marketplace. Presentations will be given on the history of the building at 1100 and 1400 each day we are open. A cottage will also be open to view. The historic Oval Plaques, on the right and left of the main gate, are an interesting read on the rules for the beneficiaries as well as the donations made to maintain this low-cost accommodation. What you see in the courtyard today is, in fact, almost exactly as it looked over 300 years ago. The 20 doors led to 20 individual cottages at that time.
