Hawkmoor Hospital originally known as Hawkmoor County Sanatorium was a specialist hospital near Bovey Tracey in Devon founded in 1913 as a pulmonary tuberculosis sanatorium as part of a network of such facilities. From 1948 the hospital catered for both patients with chest ailments (including tuberculosis) and mental health patients and in 1972 the facility was renamed ‘Hawkmoor Hospital’ and dealt solely with mental health problems until its closure in 1987.
