Founded in 1711 and managed by Trustees, Ravenstone Almshouses provide self-contained accommodation for 25 women in a delightful setting.
Known as the Hospital, it owes its existence to the beneficence of John and Rebecca Wilkins who lived at Ravenstone Hall. Their only son, Francis, died in February 1711, aged 21 years. Shortly after this Rebecca made a will and on her and her husband’s death certain property was to be used for the building of a Hospital for 30 poor women.
