A fact from Knowle Hospital appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 2 August 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that there is a mass grave of over 5,500 mental patients in the English countryside near the site of the former Hampshire County Lunatic Asylum (pictured)?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2007/August.

So, where is it?[edit]

For those of us not in the UK, and/or unfamiliar with UK geography, where the heck is this place? I didn't even know it was in the UK until the first paragraph of the second section. It'd be helpful if the location of this asylum were placed in the lead. Rstandefer 19:18, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, a flurry of edits by Wikipedians has satisfied my geographically-challenged query. Rstandefer 21:44, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article rework/possible split[edit]

I have a feeling this article is probably going to need splitting between an article covering mainly the history of the former Hampshire County Lunatic Asylum/Knowle Hospital, and a new article at Knowle, Hampshire (preferably not at Knowle Village given that that is the name of the development but not necessarily the place) covering the modern settlement and also the older parts along Mayles Lane. Any comments? DWaterson (talk) 18:56, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ravenswood house[edit]

To some degree to my best knowledge a small part (or replacement) of the institution remains open as Ravenswood house. I don't have a precise sources on this currently.Djm-leighpark (talk) 16:03, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I can confirm as a local to the area that Ravenswood House is an institution nearby (on Mayles lane), but, as to my knowledge, deliberately neither a replacement nor built of the original plans as to not associate with the inhumane and nowadays inpermissable 10,000+ deaths that occured there - Officialy. It does, in part, serve as a replacement for the Whickam, Fareham and Meon Valley NHS Mental Illness sector, but as a much smaller facility. EnderHoplite (talk) 21:01, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
