The Bishopsgate building endured the Civil War, the Great Plague of 1665 and the Fire of London a year later, after which the hospital’s governors realised that it needed a new home. In 1676 ‘New Bedlam’ opened in Moorfields, with patients transferred to a ‘palace beautiful’ designed by the genius polymath Robert Hooke. "
