St. Giles in the Fields

St. Giles in the Fields was a hospital and parish church. It is marked near the western edge of the Agas map with the label S. Gyles in the Fyeld. According to Stow, St. Giles in the Fields was founded as a leprosy house by Matilda of Scotland during the reign of Henry I. The hospital was eventually suppressed by Henry VIII (Stow 1598, sig. 2D6v).
