Hospital of St Lawrence, Bodmin
Hospital of St Lawrence, Bodmin, Grade II* listed former mental health hospital in Bodmin, England
The hospital complex features a central block with radiating wings, designed according to star-shaped architectural principles by John Foulston in 1818.
Cornwall County Asylum opened its doors in 1818 to address mental health care needs, with William Robert Hicks introducing improved treatment methods in the 1840s.
The hospital maintained detailed medical records, now stored at Kresen Kernow, documenting treatments and patient experiences throughout nearly two centuries of operation.
The facility closed in 2002, with certain sections demolished while others received protection under Grade II* listed status for architectural preservation.
The hospital grounds included a dedicated burial site from 1850 to 1859, after which deceased patients were interred at the main Bodmin Cemetery.
