St Margaret's hospital for lepers was mentioned in 1313, and may have ceased to exist at the time of the Black Death. {1}{2}{3}{4} Evidence for the location of the former leper hospital may be provided by the field name Spital Bridge Close, at TF 067 769, along with the reporting of human skeletons found in some numbers a short distance to the east, which likely indicate the location of its related cemetery. {5}
