Summary "Historical Sketches of Old Charing" by Sir James Galloway is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the rich past of Charing Cross and its notable structures, with a focus on the Hospital and Chapel of St. Mary Roncevall, established during the reign of Henry III. Galloway examines the connections between England and the Spanish monastery, detailing its impact through centuries of history. At the start of the narrative, Galloway provides context regarding the founding of the Hospital and Chapel of St. Mary Roncevall. He discusses its establishment as a religious and medical institution in England, the influence of Queen Eleanor of Castile, and the broader significance of the monastery in relation to medieval travel and hospitality. The opening portion sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the Convent and its contributions to the community, laying the groundwork for understanding its historical importance and the transformation it underwent over the years.
