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.
Click on one of the patients’ names below to find out what we have found out so far.
Please note some of the patients’ case notes discuss domestic abuse, suicide or suicidal feelings in the patients’ own words.
Search the database for people who may have been patients at Worcester City and County Pauper Lunatic Asylum, Powick, and read their notes (if available).
