The book provides a comprehensive account of the Savoy, a complex of buildings in London that was once a palace, a hospital, and a chapel. The book delves into the history of the Savoy, tracing its origins back to the 13th century when it was first built by Peter, Earl of Savoy. It then goes on to describe the various transformations that the Savoy underwent over the centuries, including its use as a royal residence, a hospital for the poor, and a chapel for the ruling classes. The book is divided into three parts, each focusing on a different aspect of the Savoy. The first part deals with the history of the Savoy Palace, which was once one of the most magnificent buildings in London. The second part provides a detailed account of the Savoy Hospital, which was established in the 14th century to provide free medical care to the poor. The third part of the book explores the history of the Savoy Chapel, which was built in the 14th century and served as a place of worship for the royal family and their courtiers.Throughout the book, Loftie provides a wealth of information about the Savoy, including its architecture, its inhabitants, and its cultural significance. He also includes numerous illustrations and photographs to help bring the history of the Savoy to life.
