Bridgnorth is a medieval market town in Shropshire, straddling the River Severn - Britain's longest river. Bridgnorth is a town of two levels, known as High Town and Low Town, both with local shops and services. Historically High Town was the part protected by the town walls, encompassing the Castle and the main centre of activity. Low Town was the industrial heart beat of the town, a river port and river crossing, all protected by Bridgnorth Castle.
Bridgnorth Housing Trust is an Almshouse Charity, a member of The Almshouse Association and regulated by the charity commission.

In general, Alms is the giving of food, money, other donations or goods to the poor and needy.
Almshouses trace their history back to monastic times where the terms bedehouse, hospital, maison dieu, almshouse and others described the provision of accommodation for those in need. The first ever recorded Almshouse was established by King Athelstan in York in the 10th Century.
