This is Queen Elizabeth House, a 15th century timber-framed building currently on Trinity Street in Worcester. Legend has is that Queen Elizabeth I addressed the public from the balcony. But she is more likely to be connected to the building through an endowment to the hospital (Trinity Hospital). It was originally part of the almshouses of Trinity Hospital. The present Queen Elizabeth Almshouses are in Upper Tything. In 1891 the building was moved, to save it from a road improvement scheme. This was helped by Mayor Smith-Carrington who raised the funds to move it. A complete renovation was carried out in 1995. It is now used by Worcester City Museum. Grade II* listed building.

Its original site was approx. 10 metres to the north, the walkway straddling the eastern part of The Trinity.
