Grand Georgian house built in 1746 and used as 'House of Charity' since 1846. The House of St Barnabas at No 1 Greek Street, available for private hire, includes a garden and private chapel in Manette Street. It may look like many other Georgian houses from outside but once inside the original decorative plastering and 'crinoline' staircase are revealed. It's believed that these historic rooms provided writer Charles Dickens with his inspiration for the imagined rooms of Dr Manette and Lucie who sat in the garden "under the plane trees." The charity, founded by Dr Henry Monro and Mr Roundell Palmer, continues today providing support and guidance for homeless people through coaching, skills development, therapies, health advice, work opportunities, art, music and gardening.
