History

The hospital, which was designed by Charles Fowler using a radial plan of the panopticon type, opened as the Devon County Lunatic Asylum in July 1845.[2][3] It was used as military hospital during the First World War and then became known as Devon Mental Hospital in the 1920s.[4]

It was badly bombed during the Second World War[2] and joined the National Health Service as Exminster Hospital in 1948 before becoming known as Exe Vale Hospital (Exminster Branch) in the 1970s.[4] After the introduction of Care in the Community in the early 1980s, the hospital went into a period of decline and closed in July 1985.[2] The main building was converted into apartments between 2001 and 2008 and is now known as Devington Park.[2]
