Chapel of St Bartholomew Oxford, England

Bartlemas
The chapel of the leper hospital of St Bartholomew, originally founded in 1126 by King Henry I. Like the similar TL4759 : Leper Chapel of St Mary Magdalene at Cambridge, the hospital was placed over a mile outside the city to protect the townsfolk from infection. It passed through Adam de Brome, Vicar of the University Church of St Mary the Virgin, to his foundation of Oriel College in 1328 and the college rebuilt the chapel during the 14th century...
