History

The site for the hospital was donated by Sir Charles Morgan, 2nd Baronet. [1] The hospital was designed by Thomas Henry Wyatt and was opened as the Newport Union Workhouse and Infirmary in 1837. [1] A new infirmary building was completed in 1869. [1] The workhouse itself was rebuilt in 1903. [1] In 1915 it was agreed that it be converted into a Military Hospital for wounded soldiers, and it came under the control of the 3rd Western General Military Hospital in Cardiff. [2] It joined the National Health Service as St Woolos Hospital, named after Saint Gwynllyw, patron saint of Newport Cathedral, in 1948. [1]
