History
Dorset County Asylum was originally founded 1832 and was based at Forston House in Charminster. By the 1860s, this facility was too small, and the new asylum at the Herrison site was opened in 1863. Herrison House itself was opened in 1904, and in 1940 the institution became known as Herrison Hospital.
