Napper's Mite almshouse was built in 1616 by Nathaniel Napier, a philanthropist, (whose memorial is in the church at Minterne Magna) during the reign of James I. This is a view of the rear of the building which backs on to Charles Street at the end of its small garden and steps. Although the front of the building was rebuilt in 1842, the Jacobean style can still be recognised in the back with the tall brick chimneys. The person in the front entrance has just passed through the small courtyard in the centre.
