[mystress]

Hi farm,

Do you mean "Christs Hospital" near Horsham?If so, there isn't a place called this,rather it is a large Public School.Up until the end of the 19th century it was in London,and then moved.It's name comes from being an educational establishment in the 16th Century.(Hospital could also mean any charitable establishment).

Take a look at Christs Hospital Site,it gives a very good history of the school.
