Beamsley Hospital was founded in 1593 by Margaret Russell, Countess of Cumberland. Lady Anne Clifford, Countess of Pembroke, made it 'more profusely' and gave it a round shape.
There are seven rooms around the central chapel for the seven almswomen who lived there. Inside the chapel below the conical-roofed lantern are wooden pews and the Beamsley Bible.
