Cadw's description
Location
At the east end of Caerwent village about 50m north east of the Eastgate.
History
These almshouses were built in 1913 by Colonel H Burton MD and Miss S E Burton. The Colonel, who had died in 1908, was an important local landowner living at The Slough farm, one of the two principal farms in Caerwent. The almshouses were intended as a memorial to him and were designed for twelve 'old and decrepit' women.
Interior
Interior not available at time of resurvey.
Reason for designation
Included as a good unspoilt range of early C20 almshouses and for their historic interest to the region.
