The Mary Stanley Training Home was founded in 1921 as the headquarters of the Bridgwater District Nursing Association and as a training centre for midwives. After 1948 the work of the Nursing Association and the Home were divided, the Home becoming part of the Bridgwater, Minehead and Butleigh Hospital Committee. Nursing care was provided to the poor in their own homes, continuing the work of the Queen Victoria Nursing Institute, which was created in 1902. Hospital care for pregnant women was provided by the maternity and midwifery wards at the hospital. There was also a small ward for premature babies. The Home was funded by voluntary donations and fund raising until the National Health Act of 1948. The records also include the patient registers of the Queen Victoria Nursing Institute (see above) for the years, 1893-1921, 1924-1928 and 1938-1942, and the case notes of Bridgwater Infirmary, 1913-1942. The latter include patient record cards for Army and RAF personnel and Italian prisoners of war.
