St Bartholomew's Hospital, Bristol, Medieval hospital building in Christmas Street, Bristol, England
The stone building features a 17th-century front facade with a jettied first floor and incorporates arches from a 12th-century town house.
Sir John la Warr established the monastery hospital in 1240, providing land in Horfield for its maintenance and care of the local population.
The hospital included the Fraternity of St Clement, supported by harbor ship levies and dedicated to caring for twelve sailors in need.
The structure underwent transformations from hospital to school, including Bristol Grammar School from 1532 to 1767 and Queen Elizabeth Hospital until 1847.
Archaeological excavations in the 1970s revealed thirty skeletons with various fractures and infections, documenting medieval medical conditions.
