Nearly 30 years after hospital closed, memorial is planned
Plans are being finalised for a memorial to some of the patients, who died at a former hospital near Starcross. More than two hundred were buried in the nearby churchyard without a monument.
Later this month a special service will be held to remember them.
The Royal Western Counties Hospital closed twenty eight years ago and Starcross' vicar, the Reverend Nick Hawkins, says former patients need to be remembered.
