It will be "The Hospital of God in Greatham, in the County Palatine of Durham". The in-brethren received a pension of £12 yearly, together with rooms, liberal board, attendance, clothing, gas, firing and medical attendance; and the out-brethren £26 yearly, and medical attendance. The Hospital was founded in 1262 by Robert Stichell, Bishop of Durham, rebuilt in 1803, and enlarged in 1868. It still exists, http://www.hospitalofgod.org.uk/housing-services/almshouses.html Why not contact them?
