Description

The Warden's House and Chapel adjoining Trinity Hospital, located at the southeast corner, was built around 1857. It is constructed from coursed and roughly squared limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and has plain tile roofs. The building has an L-shaped plan, with the house being one storey and featuring an attic. There are brick ridge stacks positioned off-centre to the left and right, and two central gabled semi-dormers with verge parapets and three-light casements.

The ground floor includes a four-bay arcaded loggia supported by square piers with moulded capitals and round arches. There are two casements set back behind a right half-glazed door to the left, and a boarded door leading into the hospital is located in the left-hand return front of the loggia. Inside, there is a dog-leg staircase featuring pendants, a closed string, turned balusters, a moulded ramped handrail, and square newel-posts, along with moulded architraves.

The chapel is designed in the lancet style and consists of three bays, with diagonal buttresses and verge parapets. It has a gabled bellcote on the west side with a chamfered-arched opening, paired lancets on the west, and triple lancets on the east, all featuring continuous returned hoodmoulds. A four-centred chamfered-arched doorway in the loggia leads to the north, which has a four flush-panelled studded door.

Inside the chapel, the roof is supported by pairs of purlins and features arch-braced collar trusses with king posts extending from the collar to the apex. The chapel contains 17th-century style box pews from 1857, a plaque commemorating the foundation of the hospital, and stained glass in the east windows that is inscribed with the names of notable founders and visitors, including "HENRY HOWARD, EARL OF NORTHAMPTON, KG,/FOUNDER/1618", "THOMAS MUSGRAVE, D.D./LORD BISHOP OF HEREFORD/VISITOR 1837", and "EDWARD HERBERT, EARL OF POWIS K.G./LORD of the HONOR and LORDSHIP OF CLUN/1845". The building is listed as Grade II* due to its historical significance and its relationship with Trinity Hospital.
