38 Fforest Lodge No. 2606, Adapted from a work by W.Bro. Dennis Woods, P.Prov.D.G.D.C., Treharris Freemasons Lodge., (
Warrant Date: 27th March 1896
Motto: Ich Dien (I Serve) + Audi Vide Tace (Hear, See, Be Silent)
Meets at: Treharris Masonic Temple
Meeting Dates: 2nd Thu: Sep to Jul (Inst. Dec)
Contact: cr2606@freemasons.freeuk.com
Mother Lodge: Loyal Cambrian 110
Daughter Lodge(s): Themis 6355
), Masonic Lodge. ===================
The Lodge has an associated Royal Arch Chapter, Fforest Chapter No. 2606
The word 'Fforest' means 'Moorland', and the Lodge took its name from Cefn Fforest Farm in the Treharris area of Mid Glamorgan, which is still shown on the Ordnance Survey map sheet ST 09/19 for the Mountain Ash area.
On 29th March 1895, a number of Brethren met at the Commercial Hotel for the purpose of discussing the formation of a new Lodge. The next meeting was held at the Navigation Hotel, Treharris, on 5th April 1895, where it was unanimously agreed that W Bro Colonel David R Lewis be designated the first Worshipful Master. He, however, declined the honour in favour of W Bro G F Harris, the great grandfather of the popular Australian entertainer, Rolf Harris.
It was agreed that the Lodge Initiation fee be set at £7 10s 0d (£7.50), and that the annual subscription be £1 10s 0d (£1.50). The cost of the Warrant or Charter of £10 0s 0d (£10) would be met by individual subscription of the Founders, and not as a charge on the Lodge itself. Certain expenses were incurred to meet the cost of alterations of the Lodge rooms etc. and this was met by a loan of £50 from Bro M.P. Morris on a promissory note at 5 per cent!
Other meetings were held in the Ocean Colliery office, a coffee tavern and the Bank Room. The task of sponsoring the new Lodge was undertaken by the LOYAL CAMBRIAN LODGE No 110, and a very close liaison has existed between the two Lodges ever since.
The Lodge was consecrated on 28th October 1896, and the event was fully reported in the Merthyr Express. The following is an extract from that report.
'On Wednesday night the Provincial Grand Lodge of South Wales (Eastern Division) foregathered at the Public Hall, Treharris, for the purpose of Consecrating the new 'Fforest Lodge No. 2606', and of installing W Bro G F Harris, P.Pr.S.G.W., PM. 110 as Worshipful Master. The ceremony was announced to be conducted by the Rt Hon Lord Llangattock who, accompanied by W Bro Marmaduke Tenant, JT Wordsworth, Chaplain, and Bro J H Taylor arrived in Merthyr by the 9.30 train. They were met at the station by W Bro G F Harris, who accompanied them to Quakers Yard by the next train. Here the carriage of Bro W Jenkins of the Ocean Colliery awaited them, and they were driven to Bargoed House'.
The report continues with the Installation of the Master, the presenting of the Founders Jewels, and that a successful banquet was held afterwards at which 70 Masons attended.
The first Lodge Meetings were held in a room over a chemist shop on the Square in Treharris, known as Thomas's Assembly Rooms. They continued to meet there for many years, until they were forced to seek larger premises, eventually moving into the Bank Room, Public Hall, Treharris.
FFOREST LODGE proved to be then, and still is for that matter, a very popular Lodge, so much so that on several occasions more Brethren attended than could be comfortably accommodated and urgent consideration was given to seeking larger premises elsewhere. At a Lodge Meeting on 14th January 1909, it was resolved that a committee be formed to investigate this rather pressing matter. The committee set about their task with alacrity and dedication, and 9th June, 1910, is a red-letter day in the history of the Lodge, for it was on that day that the Foundation Stone of the new building was laid on the Williams terrace site! This ceremony was duly carried out in accordance with Masonic custom and tradition, and on 11th May 1911, the Temple was Consecrated by the provincial Grand Master, RW Bro Lord Llangattock, who was presented with a gold key for the opening ceremony.
At a Lodge Meeting on 8th June, 1911, it was recorded that a gift of £25 was received from Lord Llangattock, 'In appreciation of the interest shown by the Brethren in Freemasonry'.
At the outbreak of the Great War in 1914 a number of Brethren were called to the Colours, including the Worshipful Master, W Bro Colonel C Richardson-White, who later presented three gavels to the Lodge made from Cedar of Lebanon wood, and three photographs depicting the temple at Jerusalem. The gavels are still in use, and the photographs continue to adorn the walls. At the beginning of 1916 the Lodge had eight Brethren serving in the armed forces.
The 25th Annual Festival, the Silver Jubilee, was celebrated on 8th December 1921, and an extract from the Minutes reads as follows.
'The Deputy Provincial Grand Master, Bro. Henry Pendrill Charles, presented to the Lodge on behalf of W Bro John Sutherland, a Worshipful Master's Collar of a very chased design and heavily mounted with a silver chain, in commemoration of the Lodge attaining its 25th Anniversary, and invested the W M Bro David John Williams with same'.
FFOREST LODGE is the Sponsor Lodge of THEMIS LODGE No 6355, which meets at the Masonic Temple in Cardiff.
It would appear that the Lodge has two mottos. The second one, AUDI VIDE TACE, appears on the Lodge Banner that was presented circa 1911. The principal motto is ICH DIEN (I Serve), this being the first person singular of the German weak verb - Dienen (To Serve). The Lodge Crest depicts a wood or forest within a circle, watched over by the all-seeing eye of the Supreme Being.
The design of the Founders Jewel is interesting and deserves an explanation. It is also used on the Past Master's Jewel. It has a Bordered Shield and a Square. The Bordered Shield is bisected perpendicularly and in the Sinister (left) half are three turrets, two above and one below a chevron, on which is superimposed a pair of compasses set at an angle of 90º The design of the left half is all that is left of the Arms of the Premier Grand Lodge, which were based on the Arms granted to the London Company of Masons in 1472. This is still part of the Arms of United Grand Lodge, and is depicted on the cover of the Book of Constitutions.
The Dexter (right) half of the Bordered Shield depicts a forest scene with a tree and a stag beneath. The Square contains a diagram of the 4th preposition of Euclid, or more familiarly speaking, 'Pythagoras's Theorem'.
The ravages of time have taken their toll on the Temple at Treharris, which resulted in the building being gutted in order to rectify the fault. Sheer hard work and total dedication by the Brethren has finally overcome all difficulties and once again the Brethren are meeting in their own premises. During the renovations they met at Merthyr Tydfil, where the hand of Masonic friendship was extended by the Brethren there.
FFOREST LODGE is one of the few Lodges who actually hold eleven Meetings a year, and anyone who has not visited this particular Lodge has missed a Masonic treat, especially if they are partial to excellent food and grand company.

The next large hospital to have been opened after the Royal was the Borough of Portsmouth Lunatic Asylum. It was renamed later but that was its title to begin with. Seventy-five acres of land was brought at the cost of £14,000 for the building of a hospital initially intended to house four hundred and ten patients. It was situated between Velder Creek and Eastney Lake, on rough and uncultivated land, a deliberate decision as the care of the grounds by the patients would be part of their treatment. The aim being always to reinstate them in society as soon as possible.
The plans were drawn up by the Portsea architect Mr George Rake; the foundation stone was laid by the Mayor William Pink on July 11th 1876. After some unforeseen delays, the hospital was opened by Mayor W King on September 3oth 1879. A lavish lunch followed the ceremony attended by Prince Edward Saxeweimer and many distinguished guests. Judging by the editorial of the Hampshire Telegraph this was met with fairly widespread disapproval. It read as follows:
"There seems to he something incongruous at first sight in the festive celebration of the opening of a new lunatic Asylum. A solemn service or perhaps no service at all, would appear more in harmony with the event, and with the view of the majority of the people with regard to it, But the ordinary Englishman is so wedded to routine, and has been brought up in the belief that no public ceremony is complete which does not include a deal of eating and drinking." Patients were arriving by the middle of October although building was still going on. It was three months before the farm buildings, the chapel and the boundary wall had been completed. By this time over four hundred patients had been admitted.
As well as the selection of the site with land for cultivation the whole design of the hospital was aimed at rehabilitation. The idea was to be as self supporting as possible.
By the time the buildings were completed there were workshops for tailoring, shoemaking, brewing, carpentry and laundry work. Gardeners and farm workers were well catered for, as were bakers and general cooks. There was always plenty of work for sewing women of all grades of ability.
The total cost of all the buildings was £120,000. By December 31st 1880, four hundred and fifty-three patients had been admitted.
The wage received by the heads of departments varied considerably. The farm bailiff with house, garden produce and free milk earned £54 per annum, whilst the baker with lodgings, rations and washing free had a great deal less, £15 per annum.
When their physical and mental condition permitted there was never any difficulty in finding suitable people with the necessary qualifications to do the work in the hospital grounds and in the hospital. A list of occupations was made on admission in 1885 and a selection from the thirty different activities reads as follows; Artist, baker, bricklayer, butcher, boot-maker, tailor, stockman, and amongst the more unusual skills, or at least the present day, sword maker, horse-clipper, French polisher and coal porter. There was also a clerk in holy orders and a stockbroker. The women had a less varied list with fifteen different types of domestic work but there was also a little variation with a prison matron, a stay worker and an eating house keeper.
The reasons for their illness were also noted. Apart from mental disease, there were jealousy, overwork, anxiety, domestic trouble, poverty, fright, religion, excitement and disappointment in love. And right at the end - no known cause. It all sounds very familiar and perhaps little has changed in the last hundred years.
The rules governing the conduct of the nurses were clearly defined; Leave once a fortnight from 2 p.m. - 9.45 p.m. and every second Sunday 4 p.m. - 9.45 p.m. After twelve months of good behaviour, one week's holiday. After two years, ten days to be divided as the medical superintendent wished. No smoking in the bedrooms or on duty and should a patient escape through the negligence of the staff, the nurse concerned would have to pay for the expense incurred to get him or her back. As the scale of pay for nurses was decidedly low no doubt the thought of money involved would have helped to increase vigilance. A male attendant in charge received £40 per annum and a female only had £32. A male second class had £20 and a female second class £16.
Fines were also imposed for misconduct or negligence. All staff were required to sign a paper promising never to gossip about the patients or the affairs of the asylum. They also acknowledged the right of the committee of visitors and the medical superintendent to discharge them without notice for intemperance of disobedience.
The medical superintendent was also subjected to strict rules. He had to be a legally qualified physician or surgeon. Although he was the chief officer of the asylum and was allowed no duties outside the hospital, he was completely ruled by the authority of the committee.
There were two committees. One, the committee of visitors was formed by members of the town council headed by the Mayor; two of its members were auditors. This group had overall authority and orders, other than the day-to-day costs, all had to have their signatures.
The other, the house of management committee met twice a month. They were responsible for the day-to-day running of the institution, wages, stores, and the condition of the kitchens and the wards; in fact all those items which needed constant supervision.
Although Portsmouth Council was responsible for the building of the hospital, they were answerable to the principle secretary of State at Whitehall. So the welfare of the patients was ensured at several levels.
The patients were admitted from a considerable area, from London, Brighton and Reigate, even as far as Windsor; and a few were recommended by the Prison Commissioners. Amongst the four hundred and fifty listed in 1880 were sixteen private patients. So even a century ago there were paying patients in general hospitals.
A further fourteen acres of land were bought in 1893 and a sanatorium was builtt for the care of infectious cases. But this did little to relieve the overcrowding which throughout its history has plagued St James'.
There have always been great efforts made to try to keep the problem under control but it sometimes must have seemed impossible. In an attempt to improve things, as more hospitals were opened in other parts of the country for mental treatment, patients from those areas were discharged to be nearer home. This naturally pleased both patient and relations; the latter often complained that they could not afford to travel such long distances to visit.
As this was happening, work was going ahead in St James' itself. Four Villas - King, Pink, Brunei and Dickens - were opened. Today, Brunei is partly used as a self-contained flat for six people so that patients can look after themselves in a sheltered environment before moving out to a house in the town. There they will still be under the care of the community services but will be responsible for the day-to-day running of their lives.
Right from the start, rehabilitation has been the aim. To this end, reading was encouraged. The problem was where to keep the books. In 1897 there was some difficulty when it was found they were being kept in the medicine cupboard, which was naturally locked. Then it was found that the library consisted of six bibles, one prayer book and two hymn books, hardly a wide choice. The chaplain was responsible for the reading matter so it was suggested he should do something about it.
And something was done very quickly. To celebrate the Queen's jubilee, one hundred books were given by the library committee and newspapers were donated by local people.
The problem of caring for the books persisted. Even as late as 1933 the controversy about locked cupboards still went on. By that date, the books had graduated from the medicine to the document files. Naturally they were still locked. The staff were responsible for their safe keeping and felt that if they were freely available some patients would make short work of them. In spite of their possible destruction it was decided they would be put in a place accessible to all.
Two years later it appears the risk was worth taking. It was noted by the committee when they made their rounds that patients were all enjoying the books and periodicals available in the wards. The concern about reading matter still went on and in 1953 it was agreed a part-time librarian would be engaged to make the whole arrangement more efficient. A long way from the resident clergyman and his bible in the medicine cupboard.
One of the jobs of the committee was to curb any tendency to overspend. When it was recommended a piano should be bought they made it quite clear that it should be second-hand. At the same time the idea of musical boxes for the less able patients was put forward. A small amount of money was allocated to buy pictures and prints to brighten up the walls.
The musical box idea came to nothing but the pianos did materialise. A year later in 1886 all the female wards had pianos and the male wards had both a bagatelle and a billiard table each. Outdoor entertainment varied; to celebrate Queen Victoria's Jubilee there were sports and a special tea on the lawn. Naturally this was a one-off treat, but picnics did take place every year. For this annual event a venue some distance away was always chosen. For people so rarely outside the grounds, the journey must have been as great a treat as the picnic itself. One day they would go to Uppark near Harting on another to South Farm, Forestside. As between three and four hundred went each time, it must have needed a great deal of organisation by the staff.
The record of the cricket team seemed good too, though there is no mention of the names of the opponent teams. In 1894 they had played twenty-five matches and won seventeen. Also at the time a reed band was formed to play out doors and a quadrill band to play for dances.
When electricity was installed in 1896 at a cost of £554.4s 7d (an extraordinary figure if only for its accuracy) the difference it made to both patients and staff must have been considerable. It was nineteen years later when a film projector was put up in the recreation hall and another twenty, in 1933, when talkies came to St James'. Twenty years after that, television sets were provided for all the wards. By this time there were weekly cinema performances and dances. There were also frequent concerts, some given by the council for music in hospitals.
Trips to the Coliseum, the Empire Theatre and the Theatre Royal were arranged from time to time so the patients were able to extend their experience of living outside the walls.
Until a fully trained occupational therapist was employed in 1964 this side of the patients treatment was supervised by the nurses. It was so successful that long stay patients were able to get outside contracts and the resultant profits were given to the workers.
Because the hospital was largely self-supporting, the charge on the borough for each patient was not great. In 1880, 13s ld was the cost of feeding and caring for the local patient. There was a slight increase to 14d for patients from other districts. Private patients were charged 16s -£1. These costs varied from time to time according to the availability of farm produce. In 1883 the cost was reduced to lls ld saving the borough £2,500 over the year.
The farm was a profitable undertaking. In 1898 the stock consisted of three horses, fourteen cows, four heifers, three calves and eighty seven chickens. To this list, pigs were added later. In 1914 profits from the farm and gardens amounted to £201. 6s 101/2 by the next year it showed a further increase and the sum was £729. 18.10. When the Americans took over St James' for a short while at the end of the Great War using the farmland and gardens to erect hutments, they handed over £1,455 Is as compensation for the loss of crops. The extremely exact bookwork with calculations to literally the last penny seemed to be the practice of that time.
In 1965 the farm was finally closed down. One hundred and sixty acres had already been sold leaving sixty still under cultivation. So the last farm on Portsea Island was no more. It was rather sad as it was still a profitable institution both financially and for the treatment point of view. In one year it had supplied pork, fruit and vegetables to the value of £5,056 to the hospital and £3,760 to other institutions in the area.
War did not affect St James' in the same way as it did the casualty and general hospitals but in some ways it was equally disturbing. During the Boer War six reservists were called up. At that time there were only thirty-nine male nurses so that number must have caused a real shortage of staff. The number of patients was constantly increasing, the original four hundred and ten was only an ideal figure, the real one was nearly half that again. Eventually, in spite of all the efforts to keep the numbers down, there were over one thousand patients in St James'. By that time there had been a lot of extra building.
The families of enlisted men were cared for by the hospital and an allowance of seven shillings a week was paid to the wives of the men who were away. At the end of the 1914-1918 war, disruption was complete. As had already been mentioned the whole hospital was taken over by the Americans and became the U.S. A. Base Hospital 33. The evacuation of the mental patients went smoothly. They went to various other institutions in the country; the ambulances covered 3,604 miles during the operation.
The hospital was transformed into a completely equipped general unit with three operating theatres, pathological department, X-ray ophthalmic, ear nose and throat and dental departments. The staff came with them and they specialised in all branches of surgery.
Twelve hutments were built in the grounds and every available bed was needed. As well as the wounded, one boat load of influenza cases was landed in Southampton. They were all admitted to St Janies' The influenza epidemic was dangerous and widespread and is still remembered by the generation who experienced it. Tents were erected for the less ill.
Although the occupation was short, from July 22nd 1918 until early in February 1919, 3,000 patients were treated during that time.
In the last war, once more wards were handed over for the treatment of casualties. This time it was the Royal Hospital which needed help and one hundred and twenty beds were made available. Thirty were kept for routine medical and surgical cases and the rest for air raid victims. Later it was a short stay unit for army wounded. The wards were staffed by Royal nurses and medical staff, the nurses being accommodated in the student's home at Foster Hall, Locksway Road.
This was the position for two years until the Royal was re-opened in Commercial Road and the wards could again be used for their original purpose.
Fourteen years after the hospital was first opened, it was decided that the nursing staff should have instruction in first aid and nursing. Today it seems impossible that such a difficult and specialised field of nursing could be in the hands of completely untrained people.
Three years later, lectures were being given in conjunction with the Medico-Phychological Society. The following year there were nine successful candidates who sat the exam Set by the society. Each was given a badge and a prize of £1.
By the early 1930s, a high proportion of the staff' were either registered or had passed their preliminary exams. By 1948 the nurses were spending two months at St Mary's to get general nursing experience before returning to complete their training. By 1960, quite a high proportion of the staff were state - registered nurses as well as registered mental nurses. In 1975, the method of examination was changed. Instead of a national basis for assessment, each training school became responsible for training and examining their own nurses.
When it was first opened, St James' was called the Borough of Portsmouth Lunatic Asylum. This was changed to the Portsmouth Borough Mental Hospital in 1920. When this was changed to St James' Hospital for Nervous and Mental Diseases, times were really getting more enlightened. But that was not until 1937. In 1960 the name was changed again and it became St James' Psychiatric Hospital.
As the name altered so did the way of referring to mental illness. In Victorian days there was little regard for the feelings of the mental patient and his or her relations. It was not considered wrong to refer to them as lunatics and paupers. In 1910 there was a note made by the committee saying that idiot boys should not be housed in the adult wards. So at least that was a step in the right direction even if it did not go nearly far enough.
When the villas were first opened, there was an entry which said they would benefit both private patients and paupers. The private patients, also called gentlemen, paid a guinea and a half per week. It was said:”This allowed a more delicate diet than was possible in the main building and they were comfortable in their new quarters”. In spite of the delicate diet, their presence in the institution was justified by a profit gained for the borough of £2,231 4s up to March 1910.
Perhaps the Great War gave a greater awareness of the need to break down social barriers. Whatever the cause, the result was good. In 1918 it was admitted the term pauper used to describe the poorer classes under treatment in mental institutions was offensive both to the patients and to their relations. It was hoped that the Mental Health Act which was at the time going through Parliament would help to improve the whole situation. It aimed at making it possible to treat cases of insanity without having to certify them. It was hoped that in this way cases could be treated in general hospitals and hot have to be admitted to mental hospitals at all.
From this time the general attitude towards mental illness improved, though the change was gradual. In 1931 patients could as last he admitted on a voluntary basis rather than always being certified. That was a great advance and progress has continued up to the present time when a great many cases are cared for within the community outside the hospital.
There is also a great improvement in the treatment of children. No longer are the retarded cruelly labelled idiots. Children are carefully assessed as to their abilities with the aim of helping them to reach their maximum potential. Naturally this does not always happen any more than it does in the mentally normal person.
Treatment is not only well understood but also well organised. Soon after the Second World War, out-patient departments were opened to deal with various categories of patient. A special provision was made for epileptics in the community and an occupational centre for detectives was started. There were clinics for delinquents and it was decided to have a child guidance clinic and a hostel for maladjusted children.
Within a year the hostel was opened. It was housed in a former curates' hostel called “Littleford” and sixteen children from five to sixteen years of age lived there. There was a school in the hostel for those who needed it but most of the children were able to attend local schools and return to the hostel for treatment afterwards. The results were good and they rarely had to stay for more than eight months, by which time they were able to return home. Five years later "Littleford" was required by its former owners so another house was bought to replace it. It was renovated and was known as “Kempton” where the same form of treatment was continued. Children who needed residential care were looked after in a bungalow in the hospital grounds.
From the start, good use was made of the grounds and these have been added to over the years. In 1911 a further twenty-eight acres were bought and some were used to build a dairy. The land cost £9,876 an interesting comparison with the original cost of the seventy-five acres bought for £14,000 in 1876.
At this time, two padded rooms were built, one for the women and one for the men. As treatment progressed, they were no longer needed but it was not until 1961 they were finally removed. Also, the larger rooms had been divided by glass partitions and these were removed at the same time.
Gradually the patients were becoming less restricted and in 1964 the corridors between the male and female sides were opened from noon till eight o'clock allowing patients to join together for meals and recreation. Long before that time, more freedom was encouraged, in the First place by having some unlocked wards and villas so the patients were free to walk in the grounds. Some who were able to do so went shopping in the town unaccompanied. It was all pointing to the direction of the present attitude advocating complete freedom with a minimum of supportive care.
By the 1950s the hospital was becoming more and more like a complete community. By the end of the decade there was a professional hairdresser with salons for both men and women.
When the eight foot walls round the exercise yards were demolished in 1960 the bricks were salvaged and used three years later to build a cricket pavilion. The small panes of glass which were used in the hospital windows were replaced by large panes; there was no longer the constant risk of excitable patients smashing them. Treatment was still advancing, and at last overcrowding which had made nursing so difficult, was improving.
At one time things were so bad, it must have taken a very devoted band of nurses to work in such conditions. The patients had to retire to their beds immediately after their meal in the evening because of their numbers.
The tables were cleared and all knives and forks checked and counted. The patients lined up behind their places at the table and removed their socks and shoes. When they had removed all their outer clothing and placed it neatly on the top of the table they went up the stone staircase to the ward. The beds were so close together they had to get into them from the foot.
The nurses at that time were responsible for the complete care of the patients, supervising the cleaning of the wards and the preparation to some extent of the meals. Large loaves weighing seven pounds were cut up with a device similar to a bacon slicer outside the ward. At the start of the hospital's history the bread was sliced at table using an ordinary knife. This once proved too much for a suicidal patient who grabbed the knife and killed herself. From then on, bread was never sliced in the dining room or ward.
Now it seems impossible such conditions could have existed. During the 1950s, a dental surgeon began attending twice a week, and ophthalmologist weekly and the ear and nose and throat surgeon whenever needed. A Derby and Joan Club started and it still continues to meet. Also the League of Friends was formed. Nine years later the members opened a patients coffee lounge. In 19175 the Women's Institute came to St James'. Meetings are still held in the hospital although many of the members now live in houses in the city. Also in the fifties, the new operating theatre was opened.
The committee continued to make its regular inspections and often found ways of improving the general welfare of the patients. On the matter of dress the aim had always been to get away from the institutional appearance. Whenever possible it was hoped the patients could have their own clothes but with over a thousand inmates it was not easy to ensure this was done. To make things easier and to get them to take a greater pride in their appearance, each patient was supplied with a coat hanger. This sounds trivial but it made a great difference and showed both imagination and an insight into the needs of a mentally sick person. The committee often saw ways of helping which would have been missed by less dedicated visitors. Over many years a dry cleaning unit in the laundry had been needed, by the end of the fifties it was installed.
Wards were changing from being numbered to being named. MI became Beaton Ward after a former medical superintendent. To short stay patients it does not matter if the ward had a name or a number. In fact a number can make finding the way in a large rambling building easier for visitors. But people who have lived in an institution most of their lives look on it as their home. And the more things to remove the feeling of regimentation the better.
There was a well known patient who helped to improve both his own and other patients' surroundings. Edward King was a very fine artist whose works have often been shown in the city. When he first came to the city he was a prolific painter but when he was admitted to the hospital he lost all inclination to paint. With the encouragement of the staff he started to take an interest again. Fortunately his old skills were only dormant and he soon started to produce some lovely pictures.
Edward King painted a great many works showing the result of the bombing in the last war. In this way he has provided a lasting record of that time. There was no sign of lack of concentration. Whatever his problem was it did not impede his considerable talent. His paintings are beautifully executed with fresh lively colours. They hung for a long time in the hospital and now can often he seen in the Portsmouth City Museum.
From 1960-66, further improvements were made. Apart from the Nelson Ward, the Solent Complex was opened. It consisted of two admission wards containing forty beds and a day-hospital all being connected by a covered way. Also the Alpha Unit was started for the rehabilitation of drug addicts. By this time the area from which patients were admitted had extended to Petersfield, taking in a population of 375,000.
In the seventies, a bank opened a branch for the use of the patients, so staff no longer had to be responsible for the care of patients' money. The safe keeping of valuables and advice on both legal and financial problems added to the overall value of the new arrangement. The service made life much easier for both patients and staff and was especially helpful for those who were about to return to the city after being in a sheltered environment for some time.
The Havant Day Hospital was opened in Havant to give the people
of that area out-patient care. At about the same time the Alpha Unit was moved out into the city and M4 ward was turned into a day unit for Psyco-Geriatric patients. By now Nelson ward was a unit for treatment of alcoholics. Conditions were constantly changing as the needs of the population changed.
Another phase of the hospital was complete. This included the Milton Ford School where twenty-five children from ages five to fifteen received treatment combined with various types of education. There were also facilities for parents to attend with their children.
Now the hospital has passed it's centenary its almost impossible to visualise it as it was so many years ago, so many changes have taken place. But in one way it has turned full circle. The hospital opened with just over four hundred beds; for many decades there were over a thousand but now it's back to around four hundred again. There are many more patients than that being cared for but they are out in the city being looked after by the social services.
Though the hospital as far as numbers are concerned is back where it started, in every other way it is different. It is a far cry from the days when words like pauper patients and idiot boy were accepted as normal; when the staff had little and at one time no training; and what little treatment there was consisted mainly of restraint so that patients didn't harm themselves and those around them - this coupled with as much activity within the hospital and the grounds as could he arranged. A walk in the exercise area wet or fine was the aim.
Fortunately the diet does not compare though at that time it was carefully thought out to get the best results out of the food. It was still hardly inspired. A typical day's diet in 1880 consisted of:
Breakfast: 8ozs bread. ½ oz butter. 1 pint of tea. Dinner: 5oz meat. 1 lb vegetables. 5oz bread. ½1 pint of tea. Tea: 8oz bread. 2oz cheese.
Sometimes tea consisted of ½ oz bread and ½ pt ale.
The items varied from day to day and between men and women; the outdoor workers had a slightly better diet than those who stayed on the wards. Later, ale was removed from the list in the interest of economy. Though this diet would not be tolerated today, it was not as monotonous as it as first seems. The bread was baked in various flavours and 1 am sure was quite the best produced at that or any time since. During the war it was baked in brick ovens. When the Royal staff worked at St James', it was the high spot of the day when a piece of bread and dripping could be scrounged. It had a taste all of its own and has never been forgotten. Eating on duty was not allowed but in this instance it was done whenever possible and considered well worth the risk. It was really marvellous stuff.
Sadly, like the farms, the bakery is now closed. The original aim of making the hospital a self supporting unit no longer applied.
For several years St Mary's and St James' held joint clinics where consultants from both hospitals pooled their knowledge and ideas. These clinics were held at St Mary's and the patients from the assessment wards were often sent to St James' when they needed specialised treatment. From 1973 St James' became absorbed into the Portsmouth Group Hospital Management Committee and then both hospitals were administered from St Mary's. Therefore, after nearly a century St James' lost its independence.

MITCHEL-TROY (i.e. Troy St. Michael) is a village and a parish bounded on the north by the river Trothy and on the east by the Wye, and on the road from Monmouth to Abergavenny, 2¼ miles south-west from Monmoutli, in the Southern division of the county, hundred of Raglan, petty sessional division, union and county court district of Monmouth, rural deanery and archdeaconry of Monmouth and diocese of Llandaff.
The Great Western line from Monmouth to Pontypool runs through the parish and has a branch to Chepstow. The church of St. Michael, built in 1208 and restored in 1876 at a cost of £1,610, is an edifice of stone in the Early English style, consisting of chancel, nave of three bays, aisles, south porch and an embattled western tower containing 3 bells: there are seven stained windows: the church affords 200 sittings: in the churchyard is a stone cross of the 13th century: the carved stone figure of St. Michael, formerly on this cross, now stands on a bracket above the, inner doorway of the porch. At the entrance to the churchyard is an old, roofed arch and lich gate and the village stocks, still in a good state of preservation, occupy their original position outside the church wall. The register of baptisms and marriages dates from the year 1593; burials, 1590. The living is a rectory, with the chapelty of Cwmcarvan annexed, joint net annual value £296, with 80 acres of glebe, and residence, in the gift of the Duke of Beaufort, and held since 1886 by the Rev. Henry Marriott Tomson Bidwell.
Troy House, about a mile from Monmouth, is one of the seats of the, Duke of Beaufort A.D.C. and, like the village, derives its name from its situation on the little river Trothy, near. the mouth of which it is situate. The mansion, formerly the seat of the Herberts, possesses no architectural beauty, but has some fine apartments. The family pictures, formerly hung here, have all been taken down and removed to Badminton.
In the reign of Charles I, this. mansion was in the possession of Sir Charles Somerset, brother of Henry, fifth Earl and first Marquess of Worcester, who so bravely defended Raglan Castle for the king.
Lydart House is the residence of Mrs. Oakley. The Duke of Beaufort, who is lord of the manor, Mrs. Oakley, of Lydart House, the trustees of the late James Richards esq. and Henry W. Lewis esq. of Merthyr Tydvil are the principal landowners. The soil is clay ; subsoil, marl. The chief crops are wheat, beans and roots. The area is 1,955 acres of land and 15 of water; rateable value, £2,016; the population in 1891 was 265.
