St Giles medieval Hospital, Remains
St Giles medieval Hospital, Remains, Medieval hospital ruins in Maldon, England
The remaining chapel walls of St Giles Hospital contain flint rubble and Roman brickwork, reaching up to the height of the original eaves.
Established in 1164 by Henry II, this hospital provided care for leprosy patients before transitioning into a general institution for the poor and elderly.
The hospital stands as a testament to medieval medical practices and social care systems, representing one of the few surviving hospital structures from that period.
Located on Spital Road at coordinates 51.7267, 0.667578, the site maintains protected status as both a Grade I listed building and scheduled monument.
