Guest Nimrod Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Dr William Marsden of Sheffield founded the Free Cancer Hospital in 1851 in Westminster following the death of his wife. There is a plaque in the archway through to the Dove and Rainbow and the DWP offices informing us of this. In 1954 it was re-named The Royal Marsden Hospital in recognition of its founder.
