Mary Ravenscroft Cottages 88-90 Wood Street, Barnet, EN5 4BW |
In 1981, during a major upgrading of Garrett's Almshouses, two modern almshouses were built by the Jesus Hospital Charity on a vacant plot of land just to the left of Garrett's Almshouses.
They were named after Mary Ravenscroft, the wife of James Ravenscroft, who had founded the Jesus Hospital.
The almshouses were occupied by May 1983.
Current status
Wood Street now contains three functioning almshouses - the original Ravenscroft Cottages, now named Jesus Hospital, at Nos. 62-72, Garrett's Almshouses at Nos. 76-86 and Mary Ravenscroft Cottages at Nos. 88-90.N.B. Photographs obtained in January 2020
The two almshouses (above) were built adjacent to Garrett's Almshouses (below).
