Restoring historic Barts
A new model for heritage and health at St Bartholomew’s Hospital
In 2023 St Bartholomew’s Hospital in the City of London will celebrate its 900th birthday. This remarkable Hospital has provided free healthcare on the same site since the reign of Henry I.
In preparation for this special anniversary, a dedicated charity, Barts Heritage, has been established to rescue, repair and renovate the historic buildings at the heart of the Hospital site. These include the Grade I listed North Wing, with its spectacular Great Hall and staircase decorated by William Hogarth.
