Jesse Mary Chambers Almshouses
Established 1924
The Almshouses were built in 1924 under the Will of Mr. Henry David Gregory Chambers, in memory of his sister.
As far as we know, Miss Chambers, who in 1886 was one of the first female graduates of London University, had no connection with Cheltenham.
Some modernisation was carried out in 1960, and a comprehensive refurbishment was completed recently.
