History
Report
The hospital was built around a much earlier Saxon chapel dedicated to Saint Gudwal - which was located to the South of the present building. The building attributed to Saint Wulfstan was a monastic institution designed to act as a hospital. It seems to have been established with the needs of travellers in mind.
