Christ's Hospital of Abingdon is a charity with a long history, based in Abingdon-on-Thames, Oxfordshire (formerly Berkshire).[2]

A royal charter established the Master and Governors of the Hospital of Christ of Abingdon in 1553, the year that Mary I succeeded to the English throne. Sir John Mason, a Tudor diplomat, was its first Master from 1553 to 1566.
The charity supports almshouses in Abingdon.[1]Sampson Strong decorated the hall with portraits of founders, benefactors and former governors.[4]
The charity has been involved with education, educating Abingdon boys from 1608 until 1870. There has been a close connection with Abingdon School since 1870.[5]
Christ's Hospital established Albert Park in northwest Abingdon (west of Abingdon School) in the 1860s on the site of the former Conduit Field.[3]
The current charity is based at St Helen's Wharf in Abingdon, Registered Charity Number 205112.[6]
