Hospitals.

Hospitals and lazar-houses, says John de Athon, are either religious, subject to the diocesan, or secular, when in lay patronage (Lyndw. Supp. 24); the former had a consecrated chapel, the latter a secular oratory (Ib. 150). They consist of a hall with lateral chambers or aisles, opening into an eastern chapel.

In Wales, Bettws methtavern or Bedehouses were wayside almonries for poor travellers, who were to pray for the donor, whose name was attached to the houses; cells or houses for travelling between Maenan and Vaenol, Rhiwddolion and Blaienau; and Festiniog, where there was the stone of the Mass for travellers. Yspytty were usually Hospitallers' bedehouses on a larger scale. 'Llan' denotes a sacred enclosure, in which a church (eglwys) was built.

Many of the English hospitals were under charge of the Austin canons, who still maintain the charge of the famous house on the pass of Mont St. Bernard in Savoy, for the entertainment of strangers. There are hospitals or guesthouses still remaining in many parts of England, like St. Leonard's, Lansdown, near Bath, on the line of roads which led to the great shrines. These are now hardly recognisable, or obscured under local names. At Cleeve there are remains of one which is connected with the abbey by a pitched path; on the hill-top midway was a cross.

Some of the best examples of hospitals and their chapels now remaining are those of St. Cross, Wells, Sherborne, Stamford, Dover, Chichester, and Portsmouth.
