Powcher’s Hall, Ely
History of Powcher's Hall
Listed Building
The building at the north west end of Infirmary Lane was originally the Blood Letting House, built in the early C14 to accommodate the monks who underwent the Ely practice of blood letting once every six weeks. In 1416, it is recorded, Prior Powcher caused to be built, almost anew, the hall in the Infirmary for those who had been bled. A third storey, which is timber-framed, was added in the early C16.
