Can you help George Marshall Medical Museum with a spot of family history research to find out about some people who were admitted to the Worcester City and County Lunatic Asylum in the 19th century? Get in touch if you’d like to help.
Our aim is to share more patients’ stories, and to find out about their lives before admission and (where possible) after discharge.
