![TANNER calls this St. Peter's or St. Leonard’s Hospital. He says the Culdees or Secular Canons be¬ longing to the Cathedral Church of St. Peter in the time of King William the Conqueror founded, on a piece of waste ground near the West end,a an Hospital for the reception and entertainment of poor people. King William Rufus removed this Hospital to another part of the City, and so much enlarged the same, both in buildings and revenues, that he is commonly accounted the Founder. It was called St. Peter’s Hospital, he adds, till King Stephen erected within the precincts of it a large Church, which he dedi¬ cated to St. Leonard, after which it generally went by the name of this last mentioned Saint. Herein were maintained a Master or Warden, thirteen Brethren, four Secular Priests, eight Sisters, thirty Choristers, two School-masters, two hundred and six headmen, and six servitors. The early History of this foundation, transcribed from the Register of St. Leonard’s in the Cottonian Library by Dugdale, is given in the Appendix to the present Account. It is translated in an abridged form in Drake’s History of York, p. 332; where also, pp. 334 to 336, will be found a minute enumeration of the possessions of this House from the original grants. The privileges of St. Leonard’s Hospital were con- * First endowed by King Athelstan, A.D. 936, as Drake, p. 332. b Rot. Pari. 2 Hen. VI. n. 37. c It contains, 1. The “ Cartas Regum,” fol. 1—6. 2.
