Epileptic patient Julia Withycombe, of Esplanade Cottage, Knightstone Road, Weston-super-Mare, photographed outside the Somerset Asylum, Wells, in 1904. Julia died there of TB in 1907 aged just 28 years old. Like the majority of patients and staff who lie there, Thomas has no marker or memorial on his grave. A service in memory of Thomas and all other souls buried there will be held in the Mendip Hospital Cemetery Chapel from 3.00 to 3.30 this Sunday, the 5th November. You are all most welcome to attend. Details on how to find Mendip Hospital Cemetery are on there Facebook page and there website. This cemetery was the burial ground for the Somerset and #Bath Pauper Lunatic Asylum, later known as the Wells Mental Hospital, and later still, Mendip Hospital. Here nearly 3000 former patients and staff were laid to rest between 1874 and 1963. The cemetery is now both a nature reserve and a living memorial to the poor souls buried here.
