MenuHoly Jesus Hospital, Northumberland
The Holy Jesus Hospital are former almshouses in Northumberland. Surrounded by roads and modern buildings, it is one of only two intact 17th-century brick buildings that survive in the city. It was built in 1681 for the Corporation of Newcastle-upon-Tyne to house a master and 39 poor freemen or freemen's widows. The site of the hospital had been in use for 700 years helping the townspeople. There was an Augustinian friary on the site from the thirteenth century, and a soup kitchen was built next to Almshouse in the nineteenth century. Noble visitors to the site include Princess Margaret Tudor, daughter of Henry VII; Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk; and Eric XIV of Sweden. It is now a museum. It is within the council area of Newcastle upon Tyne.
