The memorial to Captain Fryatt

Fryatt Memorial Hospital, previously known as Harwich and District Hospital opened in Dovercourt in a large house in 1922, which was converted into a twelve bedded cottage hospital. [1] It was also known as Harwich and Dovercourt Hospital. [2] By 1925, the hospital was referred as the Harwich and District Hospital and Fryatt Memorial [1] after Captain Charles Algernon Fryatt, a Harwich Mariner who was executed in Bruges in 1916 after he tried to ram a German U-boat during the First World War with his civilian boat. [3] Fryatt had a state funeral in St Paul's Cathedral, London. [4] The hospital was eventually enlarged to have 26 beds. In 1925 a new wing was opened which contained two private wards, a ward for men, an operating theatre, nurses accommodation. The hospital was pulled down in the early twenty-first century. This was replaced with a new hospital Harwich and District Hospital which opened in 2006. [5] Although informally known as the Fryatt Hospital, it was formerly renamed as the Fryatt Memorial Hospital in 2019. [4]
