No use of the word 'infirmary' on this:

From that link:
Chichester is in West Sussex and the old Infirmary buildings are now incorporated into St Richards Hospital.
Any surviving records for Chichester Union will be at West Sussex Record Office in Chichester.

The records of the former Chichester Infirmary are held at the West Sussex Record Office in Chichester.

They offer a research service for those who can't get there ...

Graylingwell is now being redeveloped into a luxury housing complex.  They have made some lovely apartments out of the old buildings.
