Greenwich Hospital was created on the instructions of Mary II. She ordered the King Charles wing of the existing palace on the site - originally designed by architect John Webb for King Charles II in 1664 - to be remodelled as a naval hospital. Sir Christopher Wren and his assistant Nicholas Hawksmoor gave their services free of charge as architects of the new Royal Hospital. Sir John Vanbrugh succeeded Wren as architect, completing the complex to Wren's original plans. Queen Mary Court houses the Chapel (designed by Wren but not completed until 1742). Its present appearance dates from 1779-89, having been rebuilt to a design by James Stuart , assisted by Robert Mylne and William Newton, after a devastating fire.
