This Christian almshouse cares for twenty-three residents, but its origins go back many centuries. It can trace its roots back to at least the early 1300s and possibly has older beginnings still. It was mentioned in Anthony Trollope's 'The Warden', and was based on his experiences during his stay in Salisbury.

Built as a hospital in the 13th century this is now a group of almshouses around a three sided courtyard. The north wing and the south wing (right of image) are medieval. The east wing (left of image) is from 1854 when the buildings were restored and added to. There is much detail and a plan of the buildings (monument number 26) at: https://www.british-history.ac.uk/rchme/salisbury/pp46-59 Listed, grade II*, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1259077 A cathedral was established at the Iron Age hillfort of Old Sarum by the Normans.
