The English Hospital, 1070-1570 by Nicholas Orme
The first English hospitals appeared soon after the Norman Conquest. By the year 1300 they numbered over 500, caring for the sick at every level of society. This text traces their origin and follows their development through the crisis periods of the Black Death and the Reformation.
Nicholas Orme is a leading English historian: the author of nearly thirty books on a notably wide range of topics including religion, childhood, schools, hospitals, social history, literature, and sport. His classic study of medieval children has been widely praised, and he has worked and published on the history of cathedrals for many years. He is an emeritus professor of history of Exeter University and has been elected as a corresponding fellow of the Medieval Academy of America.
