Trinity Hospital (provided by N Chadwick)
The hospital was founded as almshouses by Henry Howard, Earl of Northampton, in 1617. A board near its entrance reads: "Since 1617 it has provided a home for 21 retired gentlemen of Greenwich." The hospital was rebuilt in 1812 in its present Gothic style, and is still in use. The charity is run by Mercer.
