Donnington Hospital Trust
The Donnington Hospital Trust was founded in 1393 by Sir Richard Abberbury and re-founded in 1602 by Queen Elizabeth I. It is the oldest charity in Berkshire, the tenth oldest almshouse foundation in the country and the twenty third oldest registered charity in the country. The Trust is very much a family charity , having been under the patronage of Willie Hartley Russell and the the Hartley Russell family since 1632 when John Packer acquired the Donnington Castle Estate.
