The memorial to Captain Fryatt

Fryatt Memorial Hospital, previously known as Harwich and District Hospital opened in Dovercourt in a large house in 1922, which was converted into a twelve bedded cottage hospital. It was also known as Harwich and Dovercourt Hospital. By 1925, the hospital was referred as the Harwich and District Hospital and Fryatt Memorial after Captain Charles Algernon Fryatt, a Harwich Mariner who was executed in Bruges in 1916 after he tried to ram a German U-boat during the First World War with his civilian boat. Fryatt had a state funeral in St Paul's Cathedral, London. The hospital was eventually enlarged to have 26 beds. In 1925 a new wing was opened which contained two private wards, a ward for men, an operating theatre, nurses accommodation. The hospital was pulled down in the early twenty-first century. This was replaced with a new hospital Harwich and District Hospital which opened in 2006. Although informally known as the Fryatt Hospital, it was formerly renamed as the Fryatt Memorial Hospital in 2019.
