The Princess Alice Garden refurbishment continues at full pace; this is a major grant initiative, funded by Barts Guild, to provide a rejuvenated area for relaxation for patients, visitors and staff.

As part of this project, Guild President, Ann Wickham, has donated a magnificent Chilstone table and chair feature. The furniture is provided in memory of the late John Wickham, Ann’s husband and former surgeon of Barts. A pioneering urologist, John was highly respected and considered the godfather of robotic surgery in urology.

Extracts from eulogies recorded at his funeral can be read by clicking here.
