History
The hospital, which was built to provide aftercare and recovery for disabled boys who had undergone surgery, opened in 1924.[1] The hospital formed part of the Chailey Heritage School founded by Dame Grace Kimmins to provide education for disabled boys.[1] Muriel Powell was matron of the hospital from its opening until her resignation in 1933.[2]
The War Office regarded the area as a potential invasion site and considered that the buildings might provide cover for invading German forces; the hospital was therefore demolished in 1940 during the Second World War.[1]
