The construction of nine new homes at the Lambourn Almshouses is progressing extremely well and remains firmly on schedule for completion by January 2026.
On the site of the five new-build homes, work has now reached roof level. Roofing tiles are currently being stacked and laid, giving the buildings their final shape. Inside the Grade II listed Methodist chapel, where four apartments are being created, major interior work has already been completed. The wooden floors are now laid, and kitchens have been fitted, transforming the historic space into comfortable, modern homes while retaining its character.
Attention has also turned to the surrounding grounds. The old boundary wall, which had become unstable and unsafe, is being carefully replaced with a new brick wall that matches the original bricks used throughout the site, ensuring continuity and respect for the heritage of the buildings.
This progress would not have been possible without the generosity of the many individuals, companies and organisations who have supported the project. Their contributions – financial, practical and professional – have made it possible to move closer to our shared goal of providing nine additional secure homes for those in need within the Lambourn community.
Thank you to everyone who has helped us reach this important stage. Together, we are building more than houses – we are creating homes and a stronger community.
