Description: | This is a retrospective bird's eye view of the parish of St Giles, London. In the lower margin is a vignette of the Seal of the Ancient Hospital of St Giles, in the background are ruins and a tomb. In 1101, Matilda, wife of Henry I, founded a leper hospital in these fields outside the city walls and named it after St Giles, the patron saint of outcasts. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Anonymous | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
