Also known as the King William IV Cottages. Commissioned by Queen Adelaide widow of King William IV and designed by Philip Hardwick. They provided housing for twenty destitute widows and families of naval officers. They are now privately owned and were given Grade II listing in 1972. 'Privately owned' rather suggests that they no longer house the needy.
