He met in the Minster a number of religious people called Coli Dei or Culdees, devoted THE ABBEY GROUNDS 49 to works of charity. The value of their work being greatly hindered for want of funds, Athelstan granted to God, St. Peter, and the Culdees, a piece of crown land on which they might erect a hospital, and for its endowment he granted a thrave of corn from every plough going in the province of York. The land given to the hospital is that on which the Theatre Royal now stands. The hospital ...belonged to the Minster, and was rebuilt by the first Norman Archbishop, who induced the Conqueror to confirm the gift of thraves of corn, and also to add more land. The cloister or undercroft of the hospital was divided into aisles by short columns and covered with groined vaulting. King Stephen built a church for the hos- pital on that part of their close adjoining the king's street. The church was dedicated to St. Leonard, and he also changed the name of the hospital from St. Peter's to St. Leonard's.
