Turner Home

Step inside one of Britain’s remarkable hidden gems this Heritage Open Days. Designed by celebrated Victorian architect Alfred Waterhouse, just two years after completing London’s Natural History Museum, Turner’s Grade II-listed building is steeped in history, compassion, and architectural beauty.

Commissioned in 1883 by philanthropist Anne Turner as a heartfelt memorial to her husband and son, this extraordinary home was created to support men facing social exclusion due to illness. For over 140 years, Turner has remained true to its founding mission, providing specialist residential and nursing care for men with mental health challenges, memory loss, and acquired brain injury.
Very few care organisations working from historic buildings today continue to deliver the same specialist support they were originally founded to offer. We are proud to be one of them.

For this year’s Heritage Open Days, we invite you to experience the unique character and rich history of Turner. While respecting the privacy of those who live with us, we are opening selected parts of our home to the public. Visitors will have a rare opportunity to explore our beautiful chapel, atmospheric former morgue, and a special exhibition gallery that reveals hidden aspects of Turner’s long-standing story and impact.
Join us in celebrating a living heritage, where history, care, and community continue to thrive under one extraordinary roof.
