RAF Hospital Nocton Hall was a 740-bed RAF hospital which mostly served RAF personnel and their families. It also served local civilians.
This hospital opened in June 1947 and closed in March 1983. It is situated in the grounds of Nocton Hall which suffered a major fire in 2004. When the hospital was in the use Nocton Hall served as the Officers' Mess.
In 1984 the hospital was leased to the United States Air Force as a wartime contingency hostpital. During the Golf War over 1300 US medical staff were sent to the hospital and many were assigned to RAF Scampton. It was handed back to Her Majesty's Government by the USAF on 30th September 1995, but since then has never been reused as a hospital.
