Description
St Bartholomew's, commonly known as Barts was, like the priory, founded in 1123 by Rahere and has been modified many times. The main entrance is adorned with a statue of Henry VIII - the king who gave London this hospital. The North wing (1733), was built by Gibb, who was once a hospital governor, and accommodates a staircase and a hall (closed) decorated with paintings by Hogarth and portraits by Holbein, Kneller, Lawrence and Reynolds.
