HISTORY: from the start the building incorporated accommodation for almspeople. The rebuilding of the master’s house in 1649-50 was possibly by the bricklayer-architect John Catlyn, to replace the master’s house and hospital demolished before the first siege of Hull in 1643 during the Civil Wars. The rear wing at the east end was rebuilt c. 1780 as a house for the master.
