| 説明 | The Chapel was closed in 1995 at the same time as the hospital, and sadly drew the attention of vandals. However in 1998 the local Greek Orthodox Community re-opened the chapel, and renamed it St NeophytesSt Crispin's Hospital was opened in 1876 under the name of Northamptonshire County Asylum. It was built in the coutryside to the south of the town, and had extensive views of the surrounding countryside. The grounds incorporated a large farm complex, gas works, burial ground, a number of cottages for attendants and other estate staff, large residences for the superintendent, farm bailiff, head gardener, chaplain and steward. The hospital was extended in 1887 creating a new block for idiot and imbecile children adjacent to the female wing, blocks for epileptics on either side, a reservoir and fire station, stable yard and an isolation hospital with a distinctive pyramidal roofline. A stone chapel and mortuary were also constructed. In effect the hospital was virtually self sufficient. In 1916 the hospital was taken over as a War Hospital.In the 1930's the word asylum was changed to mental hospital, and further extensions were constructed. In 1948 the hospital was taken over by the NHS, but was eventually closed in 1995.Following closure, the main building was largely abandoned for a number of years and became neglected and prone to vandalism and arson which destroyed the roof of the recreation hall. The buildings have either been, or are in the process of being convertred to residential use.www.countyasylums.com/mentalasylums/northamptonshire.htm |
