Restoring Historic Barts
A new model for heritage and health at St Bartholomew’s Hospital
Barts Heritage is leading the rescue and rejuvenation of the historic buildings of St Bartholomew’s Hospital. These buildings are of national importance and include the Grade I-listed North Wing, with its spectacular Great Hall and staircase decorated by William Hogarth.
Sharing Historic Barts will transform the use of the historic spaces at the Hospital, conserving remarkable architecture and art collections and opening up the North Wing for year-round public use. We are pioneering a new model of heritage-based support for wellbeing, in a programme that also includes skills development, and educational and cultural activities.
