Although some of the glass has been replaced over the years, the window was originally in the medieval hall of the hospital and was later moved to the Great Hall - making it the oldest part of the building!

The word ‘refugee’ comes from the French réfugié, originally referring to Huguenots - an estimated 50,000 of these refugees settled in Britain.

Moses de la Haize left France as a child and donated to the hospital in 1735 and 1749.

W.A. Delamotte, the first official hospital artist was also the son of a Huguenot refugee.

Very interesting, thank you for sharing!
