HISTORY OF THE PROPERTY Grade I Listed 'Preston Hospital' built in 1726. This Georgian 'hospital' was built by the Preston Trust Homes to be used as Alms Houses, from monies bequeathed by Lady Catherine Herbert on land which her brother, Lord Torrington, donated. These Alms Houses were originally built for retired ladies, who resided in apartments in the west side of the building, but later on, girls between the ages of ten and sixteen were welcomed to live in the east side, where they were schooled and taught domestic skills. The central Hall, joining the two main wings, is a most impressive part of the building and was originally intended as a school room and chapel.
In the early 2000's, Shropshire Homes sympathetically developed this estate, transforming the main Alms House quadrangle into four luxury houses and six apartments. additional parking space to the north east of the development). As well as this conversion, there are nine further buildings on the estate,
