Hospital of St Stephen (Walsh)



From Walsh's History of the Irish HierarchyWith the Monasteries of Each County, Biographical Notices of the Irish Saints, Prelates, and Religious, 1854, c. xliv p. 428.

Hospital of St Stephen was situated in the south suburbs of the city and Mercer's charitable hospital has been erected on the site thereof.  January 30th, 1344, a license was granted to Geoffrey de St. Michael, guardian of St. Stephen's, permitting him to go to foreign countries for the space of two years. Nothing more known of the establishment.

Steyne Hospital. Henry de Loundres archbishop of Dublin about the year 1220 founded this hospital in honor of God and St James in this place so called near the city of Dublin. He endowed it with the lands of Kilmachurry, Kilmalmahnock, Slewardach and the church of Delgeny.
