In 1460 Mary of Gueldres founded Trinity College and Hospital in memory of her late husband, King James II. By 1585, the original buildings had deteriorated and the hospital moved into College buildings that had become redundant following the Reformation. In 1845 the hospital was still in use when it was demolished to make way for an extension to Waverley Station.
