EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the interior of the Church located within the grounds of the Horton War Hospital in Epsom, Surrey. The Church, with its tall columns and neatly aligned pews, stands as a beacon of hope and solace amidst the hustle and bustle of the hospital wards. The Horton War Hospital, originally established in 1899 as Horton Asylum, the seventh county asylum in London, underwent a significant transformation during the First and Second World Wars. During the First World War, it served as a military hospital, providing essential medical care to wounded soldiers. Following the end of the war, it was renamed Horton Mental Hospital and continued to offer psychiatric care to those in need. During the Second World War, the hospital once again became a military hospital, providing vital medical services to the army personnel. The Church, a place of worship and reflection, would have offered a moment of respite for the soldiers and hospital staff alike. The photograph, taken in the late 1940s, shows the Church in its post-war glory, a testament to the enduring power of faith and community during challenging times. The Church, with its historical significance, stands as a reminder of the hospital's rich history, which includes its deployment as a workhouse and its transformation into a modern healthcare facility. This image, with its intricate details and emotional depth, offers a glimpse into the past and the importance of religious and medical institutions during times of war and poverty.
