Biography

Originally the small Mildmay Cottage Hospital near Mildmay Road, built in 1866, was run by the nursing branch of the Mildmay Deaconess Institution, a group of Christian women led by the Vicar of St. Jude's, the Revd. William Pennefather (1816-1873). In 1871 the Mildmay Mission had built its conference hall and the adjoining Deaconess house in Newington Green and a new hospital, built in the centre of the compound to replace the cottage hospital, was built in 1883. The building was provided by Lady Hay in memory of her son and of Revd. Pennefather and was called the Mildmay Memorial Cottage Hospital. Mildmay House, previously a boarding school, at 9 and 10 Newington Green, became the Nurses' Home, along with buildings at the rear of Mildmay Grove North.
