It dates from about 1125. The Chapel was part of the buildings of a leprosy hospital that stood a little beyond the outskirts of the city. In 1199 the Chapel was given royal dispensation by King John to hold a three day fair to raise money to support the lepers. Today the Chapel is in the care of the Cambridge Preservation Society.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bilyreid.com\/?attachment_id=6754\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6754\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6754\" src=\"http:\/\/bilyreid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/LEPER-CHAPEL.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bilyreid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/LEPER-CHAPEL.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/bilyreid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/LEPER-CHAPEL-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bilyreid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/LEPER-CHAPEL-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><strong>MY\u00a0SKETCH FROM DECADES AGO<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bilyreid.com\/?attachment_id=6755\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6755\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6755\" src=\"http:\/\/bilyreid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/LEPER-CHAPEL-new.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"664\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bilyreid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/LEPER-CHAPEL-new.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/bilyreid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/LEPER-CHAPEL-new-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bilyreid.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/LEPER-CHAPEL-new-768x510.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Thank God for photography!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My recent visit to Cambridge allowed a brief reunion with my old friend, the Leper Chapel of Saint Mary Magdalene.
