St Anne's Hospital, Appleby

St Anne’s Hospital, Appleby in the Eden Valley, Cumbria.
These almshouses with their own chapel were founded by Lady Anne Clifford in 1651 to house twelve “poor widows or almswomen” under the care of a “mother” (warden). A plaque on the wall reads, '"This Almes House was founded and begun to be built in the year 1651, and was finished and endowed for the yearly maintenance of a Mother, a Reader, and twelve sisters for ever in 1653 by Anne Baronesse Clifford, Cumberland and Vesey, Lady of the Hon. of Skipton in Craven, and Countesse Dowager of Pembroke, Dorsett and Montgomery'.
