- WA009-005036 Hospital
Description
The chapel or hospital of Mary Magdalen was attached to St Stephen's hospital (WA009-005035-), on a site called the 'Leper's Meadow' on St John's Hill, just S of the city. It had been converted into private housing by 1661 and the City and County Infirmary, built in 1824, was probably built on its site. The infirmary is now derelict.
