Woodcote Park Military Convalescent Hospital was situated on the woodcote estate, Epson in Surry, England. Initially built as a training camp in 1914 with over 100 wooden huts, clad in corrugated iron, but converted as a convalescent hospital in 1915 for the large number of wounded troops returning from Gallipoli.

In 1919 the site became Queen Mary’s Convalescent Center for the continuing treatment of servicemen
