Description
"The Holy Jesus Hospital was founded in 1681 by the Mayor and Burgesses of Newcastle upon Tyne for the relief of Freemen and their widows and unmarried children, on the site of an Austin Friary.

The hospital at that time consisted of a master (the first master was Thomas Lewen, merchant), 6 Bretheren (freemen of Newcastle over 50 years of age without wives), and 31 Sisters (widows or daughters of Freemen, single or unmarried, over 50 years old)...." -
