Some interesting features of the old Trinity Hospital almshouses. The original almshouses were built by a city merchant, sheriff and mayor of Bristol, John Barstaple, in about 1402. The buildings were rebuilt many times, especially between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries, and are now private flats.
