  • Hopton's Almshouses, Hopton Street, Southwark, London, UK. Tall glass buildings loom behind these historically important houses at Bankside and near to Tate Modern. Founded by Robert Hopton, fishmonger in 1730. Properties built around a garden in 1752 and are still in use. Before the days of state provision for the old, infirm or poor it was common for wealthy individuals to bequeath money or property to the local parish or to set up independent institutions to assist those in need locally.Many ancient parishes have such institutions and many almshouses still survive. However it is unusual to find one founded as early as 1752 still in its original form, carrying out its original function, so close to London.Hopton's Almshouses were founded from a trust set up by the will of Charles Hopton.

  • Hopton's Alms Houses, London SE1. Hopton's Almshouses were built in 1752 by trustees appointed under the will of Charles Hopton. Twenty-six poor persons were chosen to occupy the houses and Almsmen were allowed to marry but the original rules were framed to prevent children of the almsmen becoming chargeable to Christ Church parish. Each almsman was to receive a chaldron of coals and a payment of not less than £6 a year. The almshouses consist of a continuous range of two-storey cottages on three sides of the central lawn with trees and paved paths.

  • Exterior of the Algernon Tollemache almshouse in the west London village of Ham. The Poor Law Amendment Act 1834 established a Board of Guardians, comprising 21 elected guardians for Kingston and its surrounding parishes. Ham always had one or two representatives, but sent very few of its poor to the workhouse, mainly assisting them locally in almshouses. Algernon Gray Tollemache (24 September 1805 – 16 January 1892, London) was a British gentleman and politician. In 1881, Algernon and Frances were living at nearby Ham House but after his death Francis founded six almshouses in Ham in his memory, with an endowment of £16,000 to support three couples and three single residents.
