Part of the Grey Friars Monastry or Christ's Hospital, London. Christ's Hospital was founded in 1553 as a hospital for orphans in the buildings of the Greyfriars Monastery and became known as the Bluecoat School from their uniform. In 1666 many of the buildings were burned in the great fire of London, but were rebuilt under Wren's supervision by the end of the century. In 1902 Christ's Hospital was moved to the Sussex region; the London buildings were demolished and the site occupied by the Post Office and part of St Bartholomew's Hospital. - see http://www.ph.ucla.edu/epi/snow/1859map/christs_hospital.html.
