About the book
This book is the first account of the history of The French Hospital and its collections. The French Hospital In England takes the reader through the days of the refuge in the first French Hospital in Finsbury, London, through its near-century in the green fields of Hackney, two World Wars, and its appropriation in the overcrowded post-war borough, then an interlude in rural Sussex before the move to Rochester. The personalities, achievements and the contemporary social scene are brought to life in this remarkable book. More than a hundred high quality photographs of the hospital’s collections of paintings, engravings, silver, furniture and memorabilia are included.
The book is available in two formats:
Paperback edition: £20.00 +p&p
Hardback edition: £45.00 +p&p
