The earliest registered charity in England & Wales

Every single charity currently registered in England and Wales was registered after 1 January 1961 — every one but one. Trinity College Carmarthen is listed as registered on 9 September 1960, making it the earliest registered charity in England and Wales. A glitch in the matrix, or just a very old college?
