Many of the older psychiatric hospitals had a separate chapel building on campus (pre 1920's), while the newer or renovates places often held services inside an unassuming room (or so they looked post-abandonment).

Most psychiatric hospitals had labs and performed autopsies to find out more about the residents' illnesses, whether it be physical or mental, to find cures or treatments to help.
Motts is it worth having a section on this site for an explanation of the various features & fittings?

Rather than having to post them every time someone asks.
I've looked at a lot of Mott's galleries & hardly any of the hospitals have a special place of worship.

It seems that all British mental institutions had them, either built into the main building or in the grounds.
