Bethel Hospital

We discussed the Great Blowe in our session on the English Civil War on Tuesday and it was the Bethel Hospital that was built on the derelict site after the explosion.   So who provided the funds to build the hospital and when was it built?  It was the first public psychiatric asylum outside London but who were its inmates?  And which famous Norwich architect remodelled the hospital?  To find out the answers to these questions and more related information please select the following link:
