The hospital chapel, as well as serving the hospital community, was a place of public worship from at least the earlier 13th century. Elaborate precautions, however, were taken to protect the rights of St. Michael's Church, Lichfield, in whose parish the hospital stood.

The hospital was founded as a place of refuge for pilgrims after the city gates were closed, run by a community of Augustinian brothers and sisters; it was refounded as an almshouse and school in 1495, the school becoming the Grammar School in the C16.
