History
The facility has its origins in the Knighton Union Workhouse which was designed by Edward Jones and was completed in 1837.[1] It has hit by a bad gas explosion in 1907 and then served as a Red Cross Hospital during the First World War.[1] It became the Knighton Public Assistance Institution in 1930 and joined the National Health Service as Knighton Hospital in 1948.[1] Due to staff shortages, the number of beds reduced from thirteen to seven in 2014.[2] An old X-Ray room was converted into facilities for patients needing palliative care in 2017.[3]
