St. Katherine’s Hospital was a religious hospital
founded in appointed there to be a Maister, three brethren Chaplaines, and three
Sisters, ten poore women, and sixe poore Clarkes
(Stow). the Mannor of Carlton in
Wiltshire, and Vpchurch in Kent
. In founded a Chauntrie
there, and gaue to that Hospitall ten pound land by yeare: it was of late
time called a free chappell, a colledge, and an Hospital for poore
sisters
(Stow). Stow also
praised the choir of the hospital, noting how it was not much inferior to
that of [St.] Paules [Cathedral]
(Stow).
The hospital continued to care for the poor after the Reformation. Its buildings remained in situ until 1825, when they were removed to make room for the new St. Katherine Docks. The buildings were relocated and rebuilt northeast of Regent’s Park, where they remain to this day.
The Hospital of St. Katherine is shown on the Agas
map among the buildings due east of the Tower of
London and thus mirrors Stow’s comment about how the hospital was
now of late yeres inclosed about, or pestered with small tenements,
and homely cottages hauing inhabitants, English and strangers, more in
number then in some citie(s) in England
(Stow). The hospital itself is found south of the
