Stydd Almshouses
The 1728 Shireburn Almshouses at Stydd near Ribchester in the Forest of Bowland, Lancashire.
Named after their benefactor, Sir John Shireburn of Stonyhurst (now Stonyhurst College), these elaborate almshouses were built for the 'relief of five Roman Catholic widows or spinsters.'
Under the terms of his will, Shireburn instructed that he wished to found and build "a good almshouse on his estate at Stydd for 5 poor persons to live separately therein."
