Location of Sir William Turner's Almshouses
 | Kirkleatham Village lies in the southern outskirts of Redcar, close to the A174. The village is a 17th and 18th century time-capsule with the 18th century parish church of St. Cuthbert, the 17th Stable Block - all that remains of the original Kirkleatham Hall - and the 18th century Old Hall Museum, originally built as a Free School in 1709. Sir William Turner's Almshouses are the 17th century historical and architectural gem at the heart of the village.
Driving north or south on the A19 turn east on the A174 and follow the brown and white tourist signs to Kirkleatham (Old Hall) Museum.
From Guisborough take the B1269 from Cemetry Corner to Redcar. At the foot of Yearby Bank, turn left on the A174 towards ICI. At the Wilton Site/Kirkleatham roundabout, take the 3rd exit towards Redcar. Within 100 yards turn right towards the Museum.
From Whitby and East Cleveland, take the A174 towards Middlesbrough. At the Wilton Site/Kirkleatham roundabout, take the 3rd exit towards Redcar. Within 100 yards turn right towards the Museum.
Sir William Turner's Almshouses are a few yards past the Kirkleatham Museum on the opposite of the road. The main car park for visitors is at the entrance to the Almshouse Gardens, a few yards east of the main entrance. The Office and Common Room are along a passage in the north-east corner of the courtyard. The Chapel is at the head of the courtyard.

Sir William Turner's Almshouses are highlighted in a red circle just below centre, slightly south of a cluster of white-roofed buildings and close to the junction of the A1042 and the A174, immediately east of the Wilton chemical complex.
