History. For the history of the Hospital as an institution see Chapel of St John the
Baptist, Bondgate (qv).

The Hospital building is first mentioned in the Valor Ecclesiasticus (1535), where it
is said to consist of a house with a close attached. The Charity Commissioners Report
of 1820 found a small one-storeyed house on Bondgate, with accommodation for
2 sisters. In 1878 this was replaced by the present building.
