Thoresby College

The courtyard of Thoresby College on Queen Street in King's Lynn.

Thoresby College (also Trinity College) was a 16th-century collegiate-style residence for thirteen chantry priests in King's Lynn, Norfolk, East of England. Located on Queen Street opposite the Guildhall, it has been converted into a youth hostel,[1] and offices for the King`s Lynn Preservation Trust.[2] It is a Grade I listed building.[3]

The priests were employed by the Trinity Guild of King’s Lynn. Its founder and benefactor, Thomas Thoresby, was a merchant and three times Mayor of the town; he died in 1510 before the building was completed. Notable features include a Dutch gable front,[4] the interior has exposed wood beams.[5] The original great door was decorated with parchemin panels.[6]
