History of Trinity Place, King Street
1828: White Hart Yard
Holy Trinity built a work house. Dr Stokes wrote in Cambridge Parish Workhouses that there were stringent rules in place here:
The paupers were not allowed to be visited without written orders, but they were allowed for health’s sake, although only by medical written consent, to go for exercise on Christ’s College Pieces for an hour before noon, and from 5 til 6 pm. For some offence, one of the paupers was confined to the house and kept upon bread allowance.
