Whalley (Queen Mary's Hospital) Military
Cemetery
During the First World War, the 2,000 bed Queen Mary's Military Hospital was
housed in the County Asylum at Whalley, remaining there until June 1920. The
Military Cemetery associated with the hospital is at the eastern end of the
Mental Hospital Cemetery and was handed over to the War Department in February
1916. The cemetery has a Cross of Sacrifice and there is also a memorial to all
the servicemen, nearly 300 of them, who died in the Hospital. The Military
Cemetery contains 33 First World War burials and nine from the Second World War.
