Plaque: Thomas Guy birthplace
Inscription
Thomas Guy, 1644/5 - 1724, who built and endowed Guy's Hospital, was born at No 7 Pritchard Alley close to this site.
Dare Quam Accipere {give rather than receive}
Our Latin consultant, David Hopkins, writes: The full sentence, from Acts 20:35, is BEATIUS EST MAGIS DARE QUAM ACCIPERE - “It is more blessed to give than to receive”. Certainly an appropriate quote for such a generous benefactor.
