History

The hospital was established as the Ripon Dispensary in 1850.[1] It was subsequently converted into a hospital; a nurses' home, built to commemorate the golden wedding anniversary of the Marquess and Marchioness of Ripon, was completed in 1901.[2] A new wing was opened by Princess Mary in 1926[3] and the hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948.[4]
