page x note 4 See Dickinson, ibid., pp. 105, 147, who holds that St. Gregory's was first founded as a hospital. But in support of the separate foundation of St. John's Hospital, Northgate, see V.C.H. Kent, ii. 211, and Lambeth MSS. 1131 and 1132, from which Battely wrote a full account of it (Bibl. Topog. Brit., i. 173–296). Lanfranc endowed Northgate and Harbledown hospitals together with £140 yearly, payable out of archiepiscopal estates in Reculver and Boughton under Blean. Archbishop Richard's alteration of the endowment quotes this : cum olim bone memorie Lanfrancus predecessor noster duo hospitalia unum scilicet apud Herebaldun’ et aliud apud Cant' extra Northgate instituisset et ad sustentationem fratrum hinc leprosorum illinc claudorum cecorum et debilium septies viginti libras sterling' de duobus maneriis videlicet de Raculfe et Boct’ annuatim percipiendas assignasset (quoted by Battely, ibid., p. 129, in his notes on Reculver).
