Monument record MYO4775 - HOSPITAL OF ST HELENS FISHERGATE

Summary

An indulgence was granted towards the repair of the leper hospital in 1444. It was apparently demolished in 1622. Knowles and Hadcock suggested that this may be the site of the earlier St Giles Hospital, but Richards et al suggest that St Giles Hospital was at Gillygate. Exact location uncertain.
