26. HOSPITAL OF ST. JOHN BAPTIST, STONY STRATFORD
This hospital was built upon the bridge of
Stony Stratford, and was intended for the
poor. It was in existence in 1306, and probably some time before, as it seems to have
been rebuilt in 1310. It contained a master
and brethren, who received grants of indulgence for those who should contribute to the
fabric of the hospital in 1306, (fn. 1) 1310, (fn. 2) and
1313. (fn. 3) It was still in existence in 1353, (fn. 4) but
probably not much later, for already in 1329
the master and brethren were without the
means of living unless others would come to
their aid. (fn. 5)
27. HOSPITAL OF ST. JOHN BAPTIST, WENDOVER
An indulgence was granted to the hospital
of St. John Baptist at Wendover, and to the
brethren of the same, in 1311. (fn. 6) Nothing
further is known of the history of the house.
