Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

Title deeds relate to property owned by King's College Hospital in the Lincoln's Inn area of London and at Denmark Hill, Lambeth, Surrey. The Hospital also leased land and buildings. As the Hospital progressed and expanded, more legal transactions occurred. It also benefited from the receipt of wills and legacies. Some King's College Hospital deeds were released to the custody of the College Solicitor in 1996, for delivery to the National Health Service Trust's solicitors.
