Operating Theatre Entrance
St Bartholomew's Hospital or “St Barts” was founded in 1123 as a priory, church-hospital for the poor and the needy. In 1546 King Henry V111 granted St Bartholomew’s to the City of London. Situated next to today’s Smithfield Meat Market, this area is steeped in London’s bloody history. Smith-field’s were renowned as one of the major executions sites in London, many suffering the “Traitors Death” including Scottish Hero, William Wallace in 1296
I was asked by St Bart’s to record a
day in the operating theatres of this great hospital.
