Trinity Court

A Dictionary of London by Henry A Harben.

West out of Aldersgate Street, at No.191, north of Little Britain (P.O. Directory).


First mention: O. and M. 1677.

Perhaps so named after Trinity Hall, formerly belonging to the Guild of the Holy Trinity of St. Botolph's parish (Strype, ed. 1720, I. iii. 120) and conveyed to Wm. Harvey, 2 Ed. VI.

The property of the Guild seems to have comprised "Trinity Hall," otherwise called the Common Hall, 8 messuages and tenement called Trinity Alley, the Wolle Sacke in Petibretane, tenements in Barbican, etc.

Trinity Hall was subsequently, 1582-1655, conveyed to the parishioners of St Botolph's, in whose possession it has remained (Staples, 20 et seq.).
