Title:	Records of the Royal Hospitals of Bridewell and Bethle[he]m (London), 1776-1908
Authors:	Bridewell Royal Hospital (London)
Film Notes:	Bridewell Royal Hospital was founded in 1553 by Edward VI as a place of training and education for homeless apprentices. It was located in Bridewell Parish. The House of Occupations and King Edward's School were part of the hospital. Built upon the site of Henry VIII's palace, the building also housed Bridewell Prison for short-term petty criminals. It is also a precinct church. Bethlehem Royal Hospital (often referred to as Bedlam) is the oldest lunatic asylum in England. It was originally founded as a priory in Bishopsgate Street in 1247, mentioned as a hospital in 1330, and first accomodated lunatics in 1403. In 1675 it was moved to Moorfields, and in 1813 to St. George's Road in southeast London.
