Production date 1699 - 1916
Scope and ContentOne volume containing copies of deeds, leases, accounts, and governors' minutes relating to St. Stephen's Hospital, and a file containing 3 items including a later deed and related items.
The collection documents much of the history of one of the several charitable foundations set up in Cork city and county in the 17th and 18th centuries. Such foundations were a feature of protestant charity of the period, and often involved the close support of secular authorities, such as Cork Corporation, which was Protestant-controlled until reforms under the Municipal Corporations Act (Ireland) 1840 took effect. The deeds and minutes recorded in SM53/1 give much detail on the foundation and operation of St Stephen's, or Blue Coat, Hospital, while other items add to this record, and document the closure of the hospital and amendment of the scheme for its endowments.
