Powick Pauper Lunatic Asylum: Sixty-seven years a Great Success, but then ‘The Dead Hand of Fentonism’

Frank Crompton has been working on the history of the Worcester City and County Pauper Lunatic Asylum, Powick, for more then 20 years. This paper will combine Frank’s interest in the patients of the asylum with an investigation into the first four Medical Superintendents of the institution between 1852 and 1950.
