Christ's Hospital, entrance from Christ Church Passage, c1879. Public school in the City of London, founded in 1552. View of statue of the school's founder Edward VI. "These photographs show the entrance to the Hospital from Christ Church Passage, Newgate Street, and the front overlooking the old burial ground of Christ Church, formerly the nave of the great church of the Grey Friars' Monastery. This portion of the hospital was erected soon after the Great Fire - in 1682 according to the inscription over the gateway, - by Sir Robert Clayton, Lord Mayor of London, also a great benefactor of St. Thomas's Hospital. His magnificent house on the east side of the Old Jewry, long since destroyed, was the first house of the London Institution". Description by Alfred Marks.
