Almshouses were established from the tenth century in Britain. They were charitable housing intended to enable people, often the elderly, to continue to live in their community. Targeted at the poor or at those from a particular form of employment and their widows, many almshouses were Christian institutions though some are secular. In 1743 there were 16 tenants in the Lynch almshouses in Uxbridge. New almshouses were then built and occupied next to the Methodist chapel in New Windsor Street in 1907. They seem to have been demolished about 1920.
