 General Information / Background
Almshouses are unfurnished dwellings consisting of lounge kitchen bedroom, shower or bathroom usually but not always designed or adapted with the needs of the elderly in mind. The intention is to provide convenient and comfortable accommodation in a setting where residents can enjoy independence and come and go as they please. Almshouses provide security and residents are encouraged to make friends and to share a wider social life through the use of the community facilities such as the garden Chapel and the Guild Room.

Wells Old Almshouses (WOA) and Llewellyn, Charles and Harper's Almshouse Trust (LCH) merged in 2004 to become City of Wells Almshouses. One of the drivers was the difficulty that the trusts faced in finding suitable new trustees. Moreover, some trustees served on the boards of both. In 2003, the decision by the paid Administrator of LCH to retire prompted its trustees to revisit the idea of a merger which had been discussed by the two trusts for several years.
