History…
Until 1811 Winterbourne Lodge was owned and occupied by William Perry who was known as Squire Perry. It was Wm Perry's grand-daughter - Mrs Mary Anne Jones - who conveyed land and ten cottages which were erected in 1851 for poor, aged people of Winterbourne, subject to specified conditions. By her wish these cottages were named "The Perry Almshouses" out of respect to her family.
