St Bartholomew’s HospitalBarts is the oldest hospital in the United Kingdom that still occupies its original site.It was founded in 1123 by Rahere, a favourite courtier of King Henry I. The Dissolution of the Monasteries did not affect the running of Barts as a hospital, but left it in a precarious position by removing its income. It was re-founded by King Henry VIII in December 1546, on the signing of an agreement granting the hospital to the City of London.photo by MissingIdentity221#sorry -- source link
