St Leonard's Hospital (ruins), Denwick
The remains of the medieval St Leonard's Hospital are beside the B6341 road, about ¾ mile north of Alnwick and a mile west of the village of Denwick. The hospital was founded by Eustace de Vescy, sometime between 1193 and 1216, for the poor, aged and sick.[1] In 1376 it became annexed to Alnwick Abbey. The hospital is thought to have become disused in the 16th century and fell into ruins. It's location was lost until 1845 when a field was ploughed and the foundations were discovered, along with a stone coffin and over 20 skeletons. The ruins were partially rebuilt using the original stones in c.1848, for the Duke of Northumberland.[2] The ruins are an ancient scheduled monument and a Grade II listed building.
