Description

Trinity House is a pair of almshouses, now used as storage rooms with a house above, built in 1787, as indicated by a plaque. The structure is made of English garden wall bond brick with a painted ground floor and ashlar dressings, topped with a Welsh slate roof. It stands two storeys high and consists of five bays. The doors are five-panelled with three-paned overlights, except for the door on the right, which features radial glazing bars. The windows have wedge stone lintels and sashes with glazing bars, along with projecting stone sills on the first floor and a sill band on the ground floor. A central plaque commemorates the building's construction in 1787 and lists the officers from that year.
