Royal College of Surgeons

Categories: Medicine

Henry VIII brought two organisations together in 1540 to form the Company of Barber-Surgeons. The surgeons broke away in 1745, bought the property in Lincoln's Inn Fields in 1797 and became the Royal College of Surgeons in 1800.
Their Lincoln's Inn building, on the south side, contains the seriously creepy Hunterian Museum.
