What is recorded here
This black commemorative plaque records: Abbot's Hospital George Abbot, born in Guildford, became Archbishop of Canterbury, and founded this almshouse in 1619. For around 400 years it has given homes to local resdients aged over 60 and of modest means. When the doors are open, do look from the archway at this fine building, still serving the purpose for which it was built so long ago. Recorded plaque organisation: Abbot's Hospital.
