Trinity College, Bishop'S Hostel

Trinity College's Bishop's Hostel was built by Dr. John Hackett, Bishop of Lichfield, between 1669 and 1671. This two-storey brick building features projecting wings and hipped roofs covered with tiles. It underwent restoration by A.W. Blomfield from 1874 to 1878. The structure has a brick plinth, stone quoins, and a plat band at the first-floor level, along with a plaster coved eaves cornice. The windows are from the 19th century, and there are hipped dormers from the late 18th century. The three-bay frontage includes an Ionic centrepiece, and above the doorway, there is a stone inscription that reads "Bishop's Hostel 1670." Although the interior has been modernised, two original staircases and some bolection moulded panelling and fittings remain.
