Manor Hospital Great War Memorial


Manor Asylum ceased to be hospital in the 1990's, the grounds and buildings being given over to housing.

The war memorial, shown below, was removed to a place of safety and is now housed in the museum at Bourne Hall.

The memorial is a wooden plaque with gold lettering bearing the names of three men who fell in the Great War and one who fell in the Second World War. I presume that after the Great War, a memorial was erected bearing the names of the three killed in the Great War and that after the Second World War this was discarded and replaced with the plaque shown below.

The three men who fell in the Great War are also commemorated on other memorials in the Borough, and the man who fell in the Second World War is commemorated in the Book of Remembrance held at the Town Hall.
