The three almshouses are in Bath Road in Walsall in the England’s West Midlands Combined Authority.
Edward Marsh set them up the almshouses in 1886 and another set in Victor Street which have since been demolished. Their funds were incorporated into the funding of the Bath Road houses. [1] The Harper’s Almshouses are now run by the Harper’s, Marsh and Crumps Almshouses Charity.
There was a cluster of almshouses in a small area of Walsall. Crump’s, Harper’s, Henry Boy’s and Marsh’s are extant. Cox’s which was between Bullock’s Row and St Matthew’s Close and Victor Street Almshouses have gone.
