Hob Uid: 361917
Location : Hertfordshire St. Albans Non Civil Parish
Grid Ref : TL1440005570
Summary : Hospital for sick and leprous brothers founded by Abbot Geoffrey between 1119-46. It was still called a hospital for lepers and sick persons in 1470, but it is doubtful that there were lepers or sick thereafter. Laymen apparently intruded themselves from 1492, and in 1505 it was annexed by St Alban's Abbey.
