History
Our History
Northampton is one of the oldest towns in the country and in 1138 was one of the first towns to establish a hospital St Johns The sick poor and needy had always been given food and shelter in the monasteries but when these were abolished by Henry VIII in about 1535 there was no provision for the sick There were then comparatively few hospitals in the country until the 18th century
In 1743 Dr James Stonhouse came to Northampton and through his efforts a subscription list was opened to provide an infirmary for the benefit of the local community The infirmary opened on 29th March 1744 and during its first five months the infirmary treated 103 inpatients who occupied 30 beds and saw 79 outpatients
The first annual report published in September 1744 states that HERE ARE NOW ADMITTED THE POOR SICK LAME AND NO MONEY GIFT OR REWARD is taken of them or their friends on any account whatever
The hospital moved to its present site in 1793 and from there the hospital has grown in line with the local population and we have continued to uphold the NHS principles of providing care that is free at the point of delivery
