A guided walk around the grounds of the Bethlem Royal Hospital asking 'What was here before?'. The Bethlem Gallery and the Museum of the Mind lead it and share the hospital's history since its move there in 1930, with questions like whether Monks Orchard had anything to do with monks and what style the chapel was built in. The walk starts in the Bethlem Gallery, lasts about an hour, and strong footwear is advised as paths may be muddy.
