Shrewsbury Hospital refers to a row of almshouses and a chapel in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England.

## History

[edit]

When he died in 1616, Gilbert Talbot, 13th Earl of Shrewsbury declared in his will that he wanted to found a "hospital" i.e almshouses "at Sheffield for the perpetual maintenance of 20 poor persons."[1] The home for the 20 poor people was built near Sheffield Castle and completed in 1666.[2]

The original almshouses became dilapidated and in the early 19th century a new site on Norfolk Road was chosen for the almshouses: new almshouses were designed by Woodhead & Hurst in the Gothic style and built between 1825 and 1828.[3]
