Founded as a private subscription hospital in 1832 in response to a cholera epidemic. The current building dates from 1862 and the design was influenced by Florence Nightingale. The building was used as an Auxiliary Hospital during the Great War. Later used as a General Hospital and spinal injury unit it has reverted to a private hospital.
