A plaque on the front of this building in Welwick Road, Patrington reads: 'Linsdall's Hospital built & endowed A.D.1843.' The only other reference to it I have found is from The National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland 1868 which is reproduced here http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/ERY/Patrington/Patrington68.html and which includes this line in its description of Patrington: 'The charities consist of a hospital, founded by Miss Linsdall, of Winstead, in 1843, for four poor widows, who receive 4s. per week, besides several other small charities by different donors'.
