History
[edit | edit source]The hospital, which was designed by William Martin and John Henry Chamberlain in the Gothic Revival style using a linear corridor layout, opened as the Glamorgan County Lunatic Asylum in November 1864.[1] It became the Glamorgan County Mental Hospital in 1922 and it joined the National Health Service as Glanrhyd Hospital in 1948.[1][2] A new low-secure unit, known as Taith Newydd ("New Journey"), was built on the site in 2014.[1] In 2022 Cadw designated the hospital grounds at Grade II on its Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales. Its listing record notes the gardens' historic importance as a rare, and largely intact, example of the "designed gardens and grounds of a mid-nineteenth century asylum landscape."[3]
