The plaque on the wall of Trinity Green Almshouses states that “This Almes House wherein 28 decay’d Masters Comanders of ships or ye Widows of such are maintain’d was built by Ye Corp. of Trinity House AN 1695. The Ground was given by Capt Henry Mudd of Ratcliffe an Elder Brother whose Widow did also contribute.” The plaque can be seen at https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6059161 The almshouses intended originally to provide accommodation for retired sailors are Grade I listed. They are the oldest almshouses in Central London. The buildings were damaged during the Second World War, and were restored in the 1950s by the London County Council.
