$a This guide describes the former Royal Naval Hospital at Greenwich, originally designed in 1664 by John Webb as a palace, and afterwards adapted for use as a Naval Hospital by Sir Christopher Wren, with the assistance of Nicholas Hawksmoor (1696-1752). The Painted Hall was decorated by James Thornhill (1708-1727), and the Chapel remodelled by James Stuart (1779-1789). At the centre of this magnificent baroque complex stands Inigo Jones's earlier Queen's House (1616-1638). The buildings were in use as a Naval Hospital from 1705 to 1869. The text includes 'A List of the present Directors ... [and other office-holders] from the Institution to the present Time' (p. 133-142). The plates show: 'A Perspective View of the Royal Hospital for Seamen at Greenwich, taken from the River Thames' (folding frontis.); 'Elevation of the East front of the Infirmary' (facing p. 117); 'Elevation of the East front of the Boys School and Dormitory' (facing p. 125); 'A View of the Ancient Royal Palace, call'd Placentia, in East Greenwich' (facing p. 131). |
