Balcony of Barstaple House
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.

Barstaple House
The buildings are based on the original site of John Barstaple's houses. Barstaple was a merchant, sheriff, mayor and benefactor of old Bristol from about 1400. He was awarded a royal charter 'to grant land in the suburb of Bristol to the mayor and commonalty of Bristol to build a hospital for poor persons'. The present buildings are a mixture, being extensively rebuilt between 1858 and 1883. In 2010 the houses were sold off and became private residences; the funds were used to build new charity houses elsewhere.

Trinity Hospital North
Opposite what is now Barstaple House is a related almshouse, Trinity Hospital North. The original almshouses date from around 1400, but these are clearly much newer, perhaps nineteenth century. It is almost inevitable the such charitable and historic ventures are not immune from the cans.
