Plaque on the Seckford Dispensary "Founded 1861, Erected 1886, Converted 1979 - conversion by C.V. Aldous".  The Latin motto "Orationes et eleemosynæ ascendunt in memoriam coram Deo" translates as "Prayers and alms rise up for a remembrance before God."

The dispensary was designed by Ernest Carritt, architect to the Seckford charity, and is now converted into residential flats.  For a general view see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1280834">TM2649 : Seckford Dispensary</a>.

The Bell Inn, New Street, Woodbridge Now called Ye Olde Bell and Steelyard. The steelyard is a weighing device, and it is on a gantry projecting from the right-hand end of the building (not visible in this image). New Street was new in 1550, and the inn was probably built in the second half of the 16C. There is an old house of similar vintage a little further down the road.
