Originally named Bedlam, as an English
abbreviation of Bethlehem or ‘house of bread’, the word has became attributed
to the confinement of 'lunatics', and the colloquial understanding of it as a
‘house of confusion’ and uproar. This image is recorded within the walls of a
garden specially created for the patients of the Maudsley Psychiatric Hospital,
London.
