The Queen Alexandra Hospital Home is a remarkable institution with an inspiring history. Casualties in the First World War reached appalling numbers and the Home cared for those who were permanently disabled. The vision of Gladys, Marchioness of Ripon, the Home was founded in 1919 in Roehampton through the generosity of the Charrington family.
