Histórico
The Eleanor Wemyss Convalescent Home of the Evelina Hospital for Sick Children was opened in 1931. The building, at Crazies Hill, Wargrave-on-Thames, near Henley had been donated in 1928 by Sir Campbell Rhodes, Chairman of the Evelina Hospital for Children, in memory of his wife Eleanor Wemyss who died in 1921. The Evelina Hospital assumed full financial responsibility for the Home in 1934. It had been regular practice for the Evelina to send its patients away to convalesce since 1880, when a Convalescent Fund was set up.
The Home was retained when the Evelina amalgamated with Guy's Hospital in 1948, but was eventually closed in July 1962.
