Brentry Hospital was a hospital in Brentry, a northern suburb of Bristol, England. The building was constructed as a family home, one among many English country houses for the Somerset gentry. Now known as Repton Hall, after its famous architect, it has been converted into residential apartments.[1]
Brentry House, which was commissioned by William Payne, a Bristol merchant, and designed by Humphry Repton and his son John was completed in 1802.[1][2] It was acquired by John Cave, a banker, in around 1817 and then by the Miller family in the 1850s.[2]
The house was converted to become the main administration block for the Brentry Certified Inebriate Reformatory in 1898.[2] The facility became an institution for the mentally ill as the Brentry Certified Institution in 1922 and was renamed the Brentry Colony in 1930.[3][4] It joined the National Health Service as Brentry Hospital in 1948.[5] After the hospital closed in 2000,[6] the main building was converted into residential apartments and became known as Repton Hall.[1]
