Tolson Almshouses were founded in 1756 as the gift of Mrs
Ann Tolson to house six widows or spinsters and six bachelors.
By 1860 the almshouses had become decrepit and new buildings
were erected on an adjacent site given by John Farnell and entered
through an elaborate archway with the men and women housed on
opposite sides of the courtyard. In 1959 these buildings were
sold and replaced by Tolson House and Lodge which were built
in 1967.
Tolson House and Lodge are located in North Street, Isleworth.
The almshouses comprise 12 bed-sitter flats on two floors,
and one one-bedroom bungalow (Tolson Lodge). In selecting
residents for accommodation, preference is given to spinsters
and widows, bachelors and widowers.
