The cornerstone, that is over 100 years old, is in superb condition and reads:

This Stone
Which stands on the site of the house of
Dame Joanna Astley, Nurse of King Henry VI
was laid by
The Lady Ludlow
wife of
The Right Honourable Lord Ludlow
Treasurer of St Bartholomew's Hospital
as the foundation of a building
devoted to
the elucidation of problems
in the
nature and treatment of the diseases
of those
who have sought relief from suffering
in this hospital
December 5th 1907
Dove Brothers Builders - Edward B Ianson Architect

It is possible that the building is still used for the same purpose today but that is unconfirmed.
