Husbands who wanted rid of wives, or families who stood to make money by getting a relative out of the way, were known for plotting to have them hauled off to this asylum and It took only two doctors’ signatures to get rid of an inconvenient wife or rich eccentric relative. It was from around the same time, with the arrival of a new Assistant Medical Officer, that social events expanded to include sports such as tennis and football. There were also dramas and magic lantern shows, as well as picnics, concerts and dances.

[6] The origins of North Wales Hospital lay in a reform movement for care of insane people that began in the late 18th century and continued until a few years after its opening as the Denbigh Asylum in 1848.

There were privately operated care institutions of dubious merit but such civic responsibility as was felt to exist was deemed to be within the purview of the penal and Poor Law systems until the passing of the County Asylums Act in 1808, which provided for publicly administered specialist facilities. Treatment remained degrading, loosely monitored and poor until the passing of the 1845 Lunacy Act but the intervening years saw an increased recognition, both in parliament and elsewhere, that something needed to be done to harmonise and improve standards of care.
