First published in 1966, The Manor House Hospital is a short history of the hospital, from its difficult early days to its modern avatar with operating theatres, spacious and airy wards, comfortable waiting rooms, and all other appurtenances which were often lacking in other institutions. It also documents the history of the remarkable men who made such a transformation possible. This book will be of interest to students of history, medicine and public policy.
