Join the Bethlem Gallery and the Museum of the Mind for an invigorating walk around the stunning grounds of the Bethlem Royal Hospital. On this walk we will be asking ‘What was here before?’ and finding out about the history of the hospital from when it moved in 1930. Is Monks Orchard anything to do with monks? What was this iron fence for?
