Description
Trinity House, located on the south side of St Sepulchre Street, was founded in 1602 and rebuilt in 1832 by architect R. H. Sharp. This three-storey building is constructed of ashlar stone and showcases a fine, restrained classical style. It features five windows, with the central three set in a broad projection. The building has a plinth, sill courses on the first and second floors, and a moulded projecting eaves cornice.
On the second floor of the central projection, there is a full-width panel that displays carved dates, the name, and a central relief of a "nef". The windows are recessed sash types with intact glazing bars, surrounded by architraves. The ground floor windows have plain raised edge surrounds. The central window on the first floor is highlighted by flanking panelled strips with console brackets that support a cornice projecting from the second floor sill course. The central entrance below features a similar surround, although the console brackets lack leaf mould at their base. The entrance includes a double six-panel door with a rectangular fanlight above.
In front of the recessed end bays, the line of the central block is continued by spearhead cast iron railings. A moulded lead rainwater head and pipe, decorated with casts of anchors, is also present. Inside, the building retains a first-floor room with piers that have attached pilasters supporting an entablature to a coved ceiling, which features a central pattera.
Trinity House is part of a group of listed buildings on the south side, specifically from Nos 21 to 31 (odd).
