Poor Priests' Hospital in Canterbury dates back to the 12th Century
Renovation works to a 12th Century hospital in Canterbury have been completed at a cost of £1.6m.
Poor Priests' Hospital in Stour Street has been under scaffolding for the past 11 months to allow for extensive repairs to its façade.
The council-owned building has been reroofed and has had its chimney stack rebuilt.
Charlotte Cornell, cabinet member for heritage on Canterbury City Council, said renovating such a historic building had "not been without its challenges".
