so they sold it deceitfully to John Asspclc, 

 proctor of the arches.' 



An indenture was made in July 1538 be- 

 tween the king and Richard Mabott, the 

 master and the brethren, whereby the hos- 

 pital exchanged their manor of Sandon by 

 Esher with the parsonage of Esher, for the 

 parsonages of Much Wakering, and of Helion 

 Bumpstead, Essex. - 



On 23 December 1539 Thomas Thurleby, 

 clerk, the last master, was presented to St. 

 Thomas' hospital, in the place of Richard 

 Mabbot deceased. But this appointment 

 could only have been made ' with the idea 

 of efiFecting a quiet surrender, for on 14 

 January 1540 Thomas Thurleby, together 

 with Thomas Ladde and Thomas Cowyke, 

 surrendered the hospital and all its possessions 

 to the king.*

15. THE LEPER HOSPITAL OF 

 SOUTHWARK 



On the outskirts of the Borough was a 

 hospital for lepers under the joint dedication 

 of St. Mary and St. Leonard. Stowe speaks 

 of it as the Loke or Lazar-house for leprous 

 persons, which stood in Kent Street, without 

 St. George's Bar, but he had failed to learn 

 anything of its early foundation.^* 



It was probably of twelfth century origin, 

 like so many similar establishments outside 

 English towns. The first notice that we 

 have found of it occurs in the time of Edward 

 II., when it had evidently been for some 

 time endowed. The favours it obtained 

 from Edward II. and Edward III. confirm 

 the tradition that it was originally of royal 

 foundation. 



Protection was granted for one year on 4 

 June 131 5 for the master and brethren of 

 the hospital, and their men and lands.^^ The
