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

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

the elucidation of problems
in the
nature and treatment of the diseases

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