046 | [Situation] Partly on the Site of Tower Bank House This portion of ground was pointed out by Mr. David Miller, Writer, as the site of the Buildings which comprised the "Almonry or Eleemosynary" attached to the Abbey of Aberbrothock, which, he says consisted of the Almoner's house and offices, stores and warehouses where the provisions were kept and the alms regularly distributed to the poor and to strangers; a custom which was general at such establishments in those days. Old Records mention the Almshouse or Almonry as being in the immediate vicinity of the Abbey, where a very large part of its Revenues were distributed in alms. No part of the Buildings now exist. |
