God's House Hospital
God's House Hospital, also known as the Hospital of St. Julian or Domus Dei (Latin for "God's House") is a refuge for poor travellers in Southampton, England. Much of the complex has now been destroyed, with only four buildings remaining: the gatehouse, God's House Tower, a grade I listed scheduled ancient monument; and the chapel, St. Julien's Church, a grade I listed building; and two accommodation blocks dating from the 19th century. The hospital was founded in the 12th century by Gervase le Riche, burgess and portreeve of Southampton, and in the 14th century it was granted to The Queen's College, Oxford on condition that the College continued to maintain the hospital and meet its original objectives. The College replaced the original buildings in the 19th century and still own the hospital buildings and the chapel.
