The hospital of Saint Saviour is a little oasis of history on the busy Thornham Road / A1101 out of Bury St. Edmunds.

The hospital of St. Saviour, without the north gate, was begun by Abbot Samson about the year 1184, but it was not finished nor fully endowed until the time of King John.

It was originally founded for a warden, twelve chaplain priests, six clerks, twelve poor men, and twelve poor women.

Would have been amazing in its day but now it’s just a bit of ruined masonry on a busy road into Bury, opposite a Ford garage and next to a Tesco warehouse. Sic transit gloria.
