Mental asylum records

The Archives and Heritage Service has been working on two related projects since 2019 researching the historic records of Staffordshire's three county mental asylums at:

  • Stafford (later St George's Hospital)
     
  • Burntwood (later St Michael's Hospital)
     
  • Cheddleton (later St Edward's Hospital)

A Case for the Ordinary  

This project, funded by leading medical charity, the Welcome Trust, explores the patient experience of mental health care in Staffordshire, 1818-1960. The research is available through the project blog.
