History: the date of foundation is unknown, but the street (whose name is a corruption of St Anne's Gate) was referred to as 'Annesgate' in 1228. The earliest reference to the hospital itself is in 1438, but from the architectural evidence it is clearly older. Traditionally founded by one of the Nevilles. Supported by alms alone, at least until the earliest recorded endowment in 1680. Its early administration is unknown, but from time immemorial it was administered by the Mayor and Corporation, and used to house and support eight poor widows.
