Hospitals

The hospital of early modern London was a fast-evolving platial concept. Many religious hospitals were dissolved in or shortly after 1536 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries. These religious hospitals covered a wide range of hospitality-related functions, including medical and spiritual care, almsgiving, education, and pilgrim lodging. After the Dissolution, new and reendowed hospitals played a central role in the City of London’s developing poor relief program. Our categorization covers the wider range of pre- and post-Reformation hospitals that existed within our temporal scope or are remembered in our primary sources. Many of these are also indiscernible from their associated churches and therefore fall under both categories. See our Hospitals topic page for more information.
