Whitgift Almshouses North End Croydon CR0 venue information
A few years after the defeat of the Spanish Armada and with the country plagued by bad harvest and wounded sailors, Whitgift decided to help the needier section of the population. He petitioned for and received permission from Queen Elizabeth I to establish a hospital and school in Croydon.
The two foundation stones of the Hospital of The Holy Trinity, now known as The Almshouses, were laid in March 1596. Originally housing 40 residents, today the magnificent Grade I listed building is home to 14 residents in one-bed and studio flats.
