 Reverend Doctor Francis Willis (1718-1807), who treated King George III for his mental illness, moved to Greatford Hall in 1776, 'which he developed as a private rural sanitorium. As part of the treatments his patients were encouraged to perform manual work in and around the stables and fields of the Greatford estate, the fresh air and exercise likely contributing to their recovery.' (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Willis_(physician) .) |
