Dame Paulet almshouse
- ... that a Primark store in Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire has a 16th-century doorway? "It's a rather inconspicuous stone doorway hidden behind a series of bike racks in the town centre which is now part of the wall of the town's Primark store, in High Street ... The stone structure which nowadays forms part of the shop's side wall in fact dates all the way back to 1593." from: Kreft, Helen (2 March 2019). "Historic Burton structure you might never have known was there". DerbyshireLive. Retrieved 23 July 2021.
- ALT1:... that the women in the Dame Paulet almshouse were entitled to a gown, a smock and an apron every year? "Each woman was to be given 26s. 8d. and a gown, smock, and apron annually; any remaining money was to be spent on repairing the almshouse," from: A History of the County of Stafford: Volume 9, Burton-Upon-Trent. London: Victoria County History. 2003. pp. 156–162.
- ALT2:... that the 16th-century doorway of the Dame Paulet almshouse reads "No Domi Ni" instead of "Anno Domini" because it was misread by a stonemason during a 1930s restoration?"Interestingly, a mason "ignorant of Latin" who was given the task of restoring the crumbling doorway in the 1930s, reworded the Latin inscription over the top of wrongly ... It once, correctly, said 'Anno Domini 1593'. However, the stone mason got in a pickle and changed this to 'No Domi Ni' ... The original inscription was 'Anno Domini' but the first two letters being entirely obliterated the mason thought that 'No Domi Ni' was more symmetrical than 'Anno Domini' so he engraved the letters accordingly. from: Kreft, Helen (2 March 2019).
