The building was recorded by Tyne and Wear Museums Archaeology in 2011 ahead of its conversion. Since its construction (1859-1860) the building has been extended mainly to the rear. The majority of the extension occurred by 1897. After this date, the south-east wing was extended upwards to give it a first floor and after 1919, an extension was added to the north-west. Access to the interior could not be gained.

This church school was endowed by Mrs Elizabeth Donnison in 1764 and was typical of the small local charity schools of 18th century. Its purpose was to educate some 36 poor girls in reading and sewing, and to provide them with clothing and shoes. Two buildings survive, neither now used for educational purposes. The earlier part, with a blank arcade, was built in 1798 as a schoolroom, and in 1827 a three-bay house was added for the mistress {1}.

Because it was a port, Sunderland had many incapacitated seamen to care for, and probably three times as many widows or orphans of dead seamen. By the middle of 19th century relief was being provided for some 800 widows, 800 orphans and 300 disabled or temporarily unemployed seamen. To provide accommodation for some of these people almshouses (now demolished) were built in 1727 at the Assembly Garth south-west of Holy Trinity Church. In 1840 these were supplemented by the almshouses at Trafalgar Square, built in the garden of the old workhouse and designed by William Drysdale {1}. These picturesque almshouses were built in 1840 - completed some five years before the square of the same name in London - in honour of the Sunderland men at the Battle of Trafalgar. In 2010, 200 years after the death of Admiral Lord Collingwood, a monument is to be erected in the grounds, listing the men, their ages, ranks and the ships on which they served. The youngest from Sunderland was Thomas Brown who was 14. He was on board HMS Minotaur. The oldest was 56 year old Quartermaster John King on board HMS Victory {souvenir publication}. The buildings were recorded in 2016 by NECT prior to repair and alteration works.
