Offer from Clinton Estates
Torrington Town Council are exploring further an offer by the Clinton (Devon) Estates Co. to hand over to the Council free, subject to the Council paying legal costs, the six almshouses held by the estate in New Street.
Members of the Council are at present considering the extent of improvements contemplated. One of the agreed conditions will be that the houses shall continue to be let to old people.
