Cleave's Almshouses

Historic site · Kingston upon Thames, England

Cleave's Almshouses are a seventeenth-century range on Old London Road, KT2 6QA, listed Grade II* as NHLE 1184584. The building is seen from the street and its garden, and no visitor opening hours are published, so none are given here.

History

William Cleave, the founder, died in 1667 and is commemorated by a monument in All Saints Church. The range is one of the thirteen Grade II* entries in the borough. It stands in a dense group: 43-47 Old London Road, NHLE 1080073, is Grade II and 42 m away, and 30 Old London Road, NHLE 1080075, is Grade II and 89 m away. The former Bentalls Depository, Grade II, NHLE 1253306, is 124 m off, so the medieval-to-Victorian street survives directly behind the modern leisure complex. Norbiton is the nearest station to Old London Road.
