HISTORICAL NOTE: Queen Elizabeth House was jacked up and moved to the present location in 1891. Its original site was approx. 10 metres to the north, the walkway straddling the eastern part of The Trinity. The reputed visit by Queen Elizabeth I in 1575 is not corroborated, a more likely connection is thought to be via an endowment to the Trinity hospital, school and almshouses. It has been suggested that this was the
schoolmaster's house.
