Whiteley Village

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Whiteley Village, in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, England, provides homes for needy elderly people. It was formed as the result of a bequest of £1,000,000 in 1907 upon the death, by murder, of William Whiteley. The village is owned and administered by the Whiteley Homes Trust, a charity.

In addition to the care and housing provided, a major feature of Whiteley Village is that it consists of more than three hundred listed buildings, which together form an important collection of "Arts and Crafts" style architecture.
