Bristol Glenside Hospital Church
Now in the grounds of the Glenside Campus of the University of the West of England (UWE) the former Stapleton Asylum Church (later Bristol Mental Hospital, and before its closure Glenside Hospital) is a picturesque Victorian Gothic structure and is now in use as the museum with artefacts from the former hospital. It is open on Weds and Sat mornings, free admission.

A church in the grounds of the old asylum
When the grounds were laid out to provide mental health care in the Victorian era, a chapel was included in the plans. Built about 1861, it is now the Glenside Hospital Museum (open occasionally with the assistance of volunteers).

A mixture of old things
The former chapel in the Glenside mental health hospital is now home to the museum of treatments that were applied to patients in the nineteenth and mainly twentieth centuries. There are various collections and displays that lend a distinctive style to the presentation. Here an old sink unit has been combined with some old stained glass lighting.

A church and a museum
The old chapel in the grounds of what was originally the Bristol Lunatic Asylum formally closed when the hospital did around the year 2000. Since then, a small collection of items has become the comprehensive Glenside Hospital museum and has found a home in the old chapel.

Keeping the ethos of fresh air and exercise
This exercise equipment lies in the bounds of the old Glenside mental health hospital. The previous patients were encouraged to be as active as possible as a way of treating their conditions. Having closed as a working hospital it seems the idea of keeping going is still being promoted positively.

An occasional sing-song
The old chapel in Glenside Hospital is now the home of the varied and extensive museum, featuring many items and accounts of the former Bristol Lunatic Asylum. The chapel was built for the patients and much of the original features remain. Indeed, the chapel does still hold the occasional service on special days.

A cosy home for the organ
The chapel that was built as part of the original Glenside hospital came about twenty years after it opened. There was a move to create a welcoming and uplifting place of worship a little apart from the main site, so this chapel was founded. The organ and its pipes are fitted neatly into the arch.
