Background
History
The Hospital of St John was founded between 1154 and 1179 by Prior Lawrence of the Benedictine Monastery for a warden and a number of secular brothers or sisters. Like many town hospitals in the country dedicated to St. John the Baptist, the objects of the hospital were "to provide a small permanent staff to supervise the house and maintain the chapel services, to afford temporary relief and lodgement for poor wayfarers, and to give more permanent relief to certain of the local poor who were sick or aged".
