In the garden of the hospital are these statues by Jemma Pearson. The figures represent two residents of the hospital, Joe Weale and Billy Cantie who resided there around the turn of the 20th century. With 6 dwellings, The Hospital of the Holy and Undivided Trinity, in Hospital Lane, is a fine example of courtyard-plan almshouses. Built in 1618 and altered in 1857, of coursed rubble stone with ashlar dressings under a tile roof. Listed, grade II*, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1054455 The small town of Clun is astride the River Clun in the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is located some 14 miles northwest of Ludlow and some 5½ miles north of Knighton. There is evidence of settlement in the Neolithic period but the town grew around the site of an Anglo-Saxon church. The Normans built a castle and a new town was laid out, the grid plan of which survives in this tranquil valley.
