Trinity Hospital, is a group of almshouses between Greenwich Power Station and the Old Royal Naval College on the south bank of the River Thames at Greenwich, London, England.
It was originally built in 1613-14 by Henry Howard, Earl of Northampton, on the site of Lumley House (childhood home of Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester).
Howard set up his charity in 1613 for 12 'poor men' of Greenwich and eight from his birthplace in Norfolk, hence the name Norfolk College by which the almshouses were also known (it is, for example, shown as Norfolk College, on William Faden's Fourth Edition of Horwood's Plan, 1819).
It was one of three Trinity almshouses founded in the last year of Howard's life, the others being in Clun, Shropshire and Shotesham, Norfolk. It was rebuilt in 1812 in Gothic style.

Le Trinity Hospital est un groupe de maisons de retraite situées entre la centrale électrique de Greenwich et le Old Royal Naval College, sur la rive sud de la Tamise, à Greenwich, à Londres, en Angleterre.
Il a été construit en 1613-14 par Henry Howard, comte de Northampton, sur le site de Lumley House (maison de Robert Dudley, premier comte de Leicester).
Howard fonda sa charité en 1613 pour 12 «hommes pauvres» de Greenwich et huit de son lieu de naissance à Norfolk, d’où le nom de Norfolk College, qui désignait également les hospices (par exemple, le Norfolk College, de William Faden). Quatrième édition du plan de Horwood, 1819).
C'était l'un des trois almshouses de la Trinité fondés au cours de la dernière année de la vie de Howard, les autres étant à Clun, dans le Shropshire et à Shotesham, dans le Norfolk. Il a été reconstruit en 1812 dans un style gothique.
