John Coupland Hospital, off of Ropery Road in Gainsborough, was built under the terms of the will of George Coupland in memory of his father John Coupland. Construction began in 1910, and the hospital opened in September 2013. The hospital played an important role in the First World War, as it treated wounded soldiers. Ownership of the hospital was passed to the National Health Service (NHS) upon its creation in 1948. {1} Designed and built by local architect William Eyre in a Neo-Georgian style.
