In the mid-1850s, the counties of Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and
Huntingdonshire set about looking for a site for a new asylum to
house their 'pauper lunatics'. Two hundred acres of farmland at
Stotfold on the Hertfordshire—Bedfordshire border were purchased
and in March 1860 the first patients were admitted to the new Three
Counties Asylum (TCA). The asylum was in operation for almost a
century and a half and, as approaches to treating mental illness
changed, so did TCA.
