Trinity Hospital, Clun
[Abstract of List Description, to be scanned in]: Almshouses. Founded in 1607 by Henry Howard, Earl of Northampton, and built in 1618 with alterations of 1857. Coursed limestone rubble with sandstone ashlar and red brick dressings; machine tile roof. Dwellings and other rooms arranged around a square courtyard. One storey and attic ... [Detailed architectural description follows] ...The full name of these 6 almshouses is the Hospital of the Holy and Undivided Trinity. A well preserved example of courtyard-plan almshouses <1>
Buildings of 1618, one-storeyed, of stone round a quadrangle. The architecture towards the quadrangle is extremely simple. The South facade of the hospital, however, has two end-gables and a fine group of three stepped central dormers. To the right a projecting wing of 1857 with a veranda on round arches fits in uncommonly well. Inside the hospital there are some original 4-poster beds. In the Dining Hall a long oak table and a 2-tier cupboard <3>
Chapel and almshouses for 12 poor men, founded by Henry Howard in 1614. Chapel rebuilt in 1845 <4>
Built in simple 17th century domestic style with Georgian doorways and a later SW wing and a rebuilt SE wing which includes the chapel <5>
The statutes of the hospital were published in 1778 <6>
Brief history and account <7>
Plans submitted with planning application <8>
CMHTS Comment: Some confusion over date of construction - 1618 [<9>]; 1614 [<10>]; 1607 [<11>]. Started prior to 1614 [<12>] <13>
