This building was founded by Henry Lucas, who expressed his wish for it to function as an almshouse in his 1663 will. In early 1667, this charitable organization began its operation, lasting until 2001 when it was sold as a private residence.
The Lucas Hospital is Wokingham's only Grade 1 listed building.
This structure is also included in the Wokingham Society's Blue Plaque Trail.
