}}Sexey's Hospital in Bruton, Somerset, England was built around 1630 as almshouses. The West Wing and chapel have been designated as a Grade I listed building.[1] The East Wing and gateway are grade II listed.[2]

Hugh Sexey (1556–1619), was a local landowner. By the age of 43 he had been appointed as Royal auditor of the Exchequer to King James I.[3] After his death the trustees of his will established Sexey's Hospital in Bruton as an institution to care for the elderly.

A trust of 1638 set out the role of the hospital in caring for 12 poor men and women. This later rose to 18 people, and it provided a school for 12 boys, and staff comprised a governor, a schoolmaster, and a nurse. by 1812 this had risen to 20; 10 men and 10 women and in 1902 there were 15 residents. In 1997 there were 22 residents with vacancies for a further 2.[4]
