St Peter's Hospital is a medieval hospital whose remains lie beneath the Theatre Royal in York. The undercroft preserves structural elements from the hospital's original construction, which dates to the medieval period when such institutions provided care for the poor and infirm. The survival of these remains below the later theatre building demonstrates the archaeological layering of York's urban development across successive centuries. The hospital represents an important example of medieval charitable provision in a major English city.
