Provosts House, Abbey Precincts, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk
This was built in 1744 under the will of Dr Poley Clopton. On the frieze is a panel with a Latin inscription recording Dr Poley's bequest for the founding of the almshouses. Number 4 Churchyard (Clopton Cottage) was apparently the house of the master of the almshouse. It has slightly more high status fittings, notably the decorative fireplace in the principal ground storey room. This building was formerly known as 'The Clopton Asylum'.
