Trinity Green falls within the Stepney Green Conservation Area, which was designated in January 1973. 

This collection of almshouses sometimes referred to Trinity Green, can trace its origins back to the English Navy, granted under royal charter in 1514 and now known as the Trinity Corporation. 

The original 28 almshouses were constructed in 1695 to support the “decay’d Masters & Commanders of Ships, or ye Widows of such”. 

Although there is no formal evidence to support it, the architecture is believed to have been a collaboration between Sir Christopher Wren and John Evelyn. 

The scheme proposes to restore the original interior plan and reintroduce appropriate period detailing. Details such as cornices in wood block and bracketed eave, entrances coupled under wide hoods on carved brackets represent the buildings and are to be reinsted. 

The restoration of the original plan form and the re-instatement of the original historic features are a crucial approach to a Grade I Listed Building and allowed us to be faithful to the original nature and special architectural character of this property.
