Show more "There are places for twenty five Brothers in total and they belong either to the Hospital Foundation (Black Brothers) or the Order of Noble Poverty (Red Brothers). They come from a wide variety of backgrounds, and are usually single, divorced or widowers. The Scheme which governs the administration of the Hospital lays down that Brothers must normally be over state retirement age, no longer employed, and that preference should be given to those of low or limited income, although higher income is not a bar to entry. Emotional need is also considered.Each Brother has a self-contained flat, dating back to the fifteenth century, consisting of a sitting room, bedroom, shower, kitchen and separate lavatory. The quarters are on the ground or first floor. These flats are not furnished, and a resident normally provides his own furniture but the Hospital can help with the provision of this if required."
