About Us
Farley Hospital is a 17th Century grade 1 listed almshouse that is run as a charity.
We provide 8 separate almshouses, each with 1-3 bedrooms. They are arranged in two wings, around a large central wardenry. There are also beautiful grounds. The wardenry is being prepared for use by the community and for events.
The building was commissioned and funded by Sir Stephen Fox who was born in the village, before becoming a very wealthy and prominent figure of the age. He also built All Saint’s Church that sits opposite the Hospital.
The building has had an interesting history and although it has nearly closed numerous times, the charity and board of trustees continue to uphold Sir Stephen’s original purpose for the building and to build a community to look after the building, its residents and its heritage.
