This talk will explore St Bartholomew's Hospital and its community in the fifteenth century, a period in which the hospital flourished and expanded under the mastership of John Wakeryng. Using the hospital’s incredible cartulary (a prestigious register compiled by members of Wakeryng’s staff to record the hospitals property holdings), alongside records held at The National Archives and London Metropolitan Archives, this talk will explore the individuals who lived at Bart’s at this time, and provide a glimpse into community life within the hospital precinct. It will also examine some of the strategies employed by Wakeryng and his staff to reform and promote the hospital, securing its status and future at a time when many hospitals across England were in decline.
Dr Euan Roger is a Principal Medieval Specialist at The National Archives, specialising in the records of Medieval and Tudor England. Euan has published articles on the medieval hospital of St Bart’s, and recently on quarantine and social distancing in pre-modern England, and his work has featured in publications including TIME Magazine, The Guardian and The Times. He is currently writing a chapter on the medieval hospital as part of an edited collection commemorating the 900th anniversary of St Bartholomew’s Priory and Hospital.
