Wyndham Cottle Almshouses, Ningwood
Wyndham Cottle Almshouses
Dr (Ernest) Wyndham Cottle inherited Ningwood Manor House from his uncle, Thomas Cottle, previously a vicar of Shalfleet, in 1895.
On Wyndham's death in 1919, he made several bequests to the local community - one being the Wyndham Cottle Almshouses in Warlands Lane, Ningwood.
These consist of a pair of two cottages designed by local architect John Curtis Millgate and constructed 1922/23 on land belonging to Dr Cottle.
