Orthopaedic Hospital
On the doorstep is the world famous Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital, which has its origins in a convalescent home for disabled children established in 1900 at Baschurch by Agnes (later Dame Agnes) Hunt. In 1919 funds and premises became available and the hospital transferred to Park Hall into the hospital section of a former army camp. Much progress has been made since that time both with vast new buildings and pioneer medical treatments. The hospital, through the quality of service and care offered by a dedicated team of staff, is a centre of excellence with an international reputation.
