History
The History of St Anthonys
One hundred years ago North Cheam House stood in open countryside Purchased by the Daughters of the Cross for pound4625 it became St Anthonys Hospital Thus began a history of vital service to the community which with the more recent addition of St Raphaels Hospice continues to this day

The Sisters primary objective has always been to provide care to the local community and 1987 saw the establishment of St Raphaels Hospice A beautiful building standing in the grounds of St Anthonys its special care and services were to be provided totally free of charge to all those in need Extended by the Sisters in 1997 St Raphaels plays a vital part in the provision of palliative care to local patients and their families and also in the specialist training of nurses and doctors
