Descrizione:

Aphetic spellings of hospital. 1368 <i>le spitel-land juxta Hospitale sancti Johannis</i>, Nottingham (SS4/85). In early records hospitals were charitable institutions, founded by religious bodies, guilds or individuals and they were remembered in wills and land grants: 1500 <i>to every masyndew and spitil-hous in Beverley xijd</i> (SS53/177); 1606 <i>the somme of £3 6s 8d for the use of the Spittle-house in New Malton</i> (NRQS1/43). A description of York city boundaries in 1443 referred to the <i>Maudeleyn Spetell</i>; that is the hospital of St Mary Magdalene (SS186/132), and in 1490 an indulgence of forty days was granted to those who gave money to ‘the lepers in the house called <i>le Spitall</i> outside the south gate’ of Doncaster (CYS231). It was a major element in place-names from the thirteenth century at least, e.g. 1294 <i>Spitle Hardwicke</i>, so named because it belonged to the Hospital of St Nicholas in Pontefract (PNWR2/79).
