More about this scene

Sherburn was founded in 1181 by Bishop Hugh le Puiset as a leper hospital, though it later became an almshouse. Little remains of the original structure save for the south wall of the chapel. It was redeveloped in the 1760s, and a new master's house was added in 1832. In the 1860s the architects Austin & Johnson were commissioned to completely rebuild the church and main building.
