| Administrative / biographical background: |
By 1574 (and possibly earlier) Bridewell and Bethlem Hospitals were jointly administered by a Court of Governors. This arrangement between the two institutions (and, in the case of Bridewell, its sucessor King Edward's School) until the advent of the National Health Service in 1948. The chief administrative officers of the Hospitals were based at New Bridge Street throughout. |
