Full Description
The hospital was founded in 1119 by Bishop Eborard. It housed a procurator, master, governess and fourteen poor men and women (changed after 1429 to fourteen women only). In 1565 it was granted to the City as almhouses.
Apart from one section that housed twelve widows it was immediately converted to a workhouse (confirmed in 1571) and called the 'Bridewell'. After the establishment of the St Andrew's Bridewell in 1598 (see NHER 387) the property was leased out, with the exception of the part still occupied by the twelve widows.
The boundary of the property is taken from (S1).
