179-94. OTHER HOSPITALS OF YORK 



The hospital of St. Thomas the Mar- 

 tyr outside MiCKLEGATE Bar.^* — This hospital 

 was founded, before 1391,^° for the maintenance 

 of poor persons of either sex dwelling in the 

 neighbourhood of ' Mykyllythbar,' and especially 

 for hospitality by day and night of all poor 

 travellers and sick poor passing through York.^* 



On 12 May 1478^ the hospital was transferred 

 to the gild of Corpus Christi, when it was agreed 

 that ' from noweforth the said hospitall shall be 

 named, taken ande reputed the Hospitall of Cor- 

 poris Cristi and of Saynte Thomas of Canter- 

 burie,' and from that time, till the dissolution of 

 the gild, the history is rather that of the gild than 

 of the hospital. The master, wardens, and 

 brothers and sisters of St. Thomas's stipulated 

 that they should have the use of ' their beddes 

 and beddrowmez, thaire owen propre liffes dury ng, 

 without anny maner of expulsion,' and also that 

 the brethren of the gild were to ' fynde vij almus 

 beddes convenyently clothed, for the ease, re- 

 fresshing, and harbering of pore indigent travayl- 

 ing people commyng unto the said hospitall.' 



Although the gild of Corpus Christi was dis- 

 solved in 1547,^* the hospital of St. Thomas 

 succeeded in retaining possession of its estates for 

 nearly thirty years longer. 



In 1 55 1-2 the master, after consulting with 

 the brethren of the hospital, and showing how 

 difficult it was to maintain the house and its 

 poor folks, suggested that they should call in the 

 aid of the lord mayor and aldermen of the city, 

 who were admitted as brothers of the hospital in 

 1552,^° when the lord mayor was elected master 

 and two of the aldermen wardens. For some 

 twenty-five years following, the lord mayor for 

 the year, and one of the aldermen, with *a 

 spiritual man,' continued to fill these offices. 



In 1575-6 John Marshe and other citizens 

 of London obtained grants of certain of the

" In an indulgence granted in 1489 by Arch- 

 bishop Rotherham (York Archiepis. Reg. Rotherham, 

 fol. 242^) the hospital is called 'hospitalis Beatae 

 Marie Virginis et Sancti Thomae Martyrls extra 

 Mykillith Bar.' Usually it was known as the hospi- 

 tal of St. Thomas the Martyr.
