Sloswicke's Hospital is an almshouse in East Retford, Nottinghamshire, England. [1]
Richard Sloswicke’s will left money to found almshouses “for the maintenance of six poore old men of good carriage and behaviour to the end of the world” in 1657. [2] The present building dates from 1806; an additional pair of houses was added in 1819, behind the 1806 building. A further modern block containing four self-contained flats was built to the left of the 1806 building in the 1980s and the Sloswick's Trust also owns several other properties around East Retford, including a row of terraced houses on Queen Street and Hawksley House on Coronation Street, all used for the housing of old people from or with a connection to East Retford. [3]
Sloswicke’s Almshouse Charity (229556) maintains the properties to the current day. [4]
