St Stephen's Orphanage

Placeholder for St Stephen's Orphanage blue plaque

St Stephen's Orphanage (founded 1870) moved to this building from Trinity Lane after World War I. With the assistance of many notable patrons, including Dean Duncombe, the Worsley family of Hovingham and Dr W A Evelyn, it provided accommodation, support and training to hundreds of orphaned girls for over a century.
