The almshouses at the top of Cow Lane were built and endowed by Miss Frances Jane Longden in 1852, the sister of John Sherwin Gregory who was one of the Sherwins of Bramcote Manor. Originally they were to provide homes for four poor women of the parish who were to receive two shillings weekly and two tons of coal each year. The almshouses were renovated and modernised with the help of a grant from the Borough Council in 1984. Opposite are outbuildings to Bramcote Grange. The grange dates from about 1830. It was in the ownership of the Enfield family from the latter part of the 19th Century until 1946, when its entire estate was sold at auction. The outbuildings have since been demolished.
