Westminster Memorial Hospital, Grade II listed hospital in Shaftesbury, England
Westminster Memorial Hospital contains twenty inpatient beds and provides minor injuries treatment, outpatient clinics, and rehabilitation services for the local community.
Lady Elizabeth Leveson-Gower and her daughter donated land for the hospital's construction in 1871, establishing it as a memorial to Richard Grosvenor, the 2nd Marquess of Westminster.
The League of Friends, formed in 1950, continues to raise funds for hospital projects and improvements that fall outside the standard National Health Service budget.
The hospital maintains regular visiting hours from 2-4 PM and 6-8 PM daily, with free parking facilities available for all visitors near the main entrance.
The original 1907 operating theater features a double lantern roof design that maximizes natural light, reflecting early twentieth-century medical architectural innovations.
