Greatham Hospital

Greatham Hospital, also known as the Almshouse (Hospital of God, St. Mary and St. Cuthbert), was built between 1803 and 1804 by Jeffrey Wyatt (later known as Wyatville) for J.W. Egerton, the Earl of Bridgewater. It has its origins dating back to 1272. The building is constructed of limestone ashlar and features hipped slate roofs with stone ridge copings. It has a rectangular plan that surrounds two small "T"-plan courtyards and is designed in a quasi-Gothic style, consisting of a single storey.

The principal front, facing south, includes a central hall that is highlighted by a slightly projecting loggia. This loggia is open at the front and supported by three pointed, chamfered arches, with diagonal buttresses and a moulded eaves cornice above. An embattled parapet flanks a central square clock tower, which is adorned with narrow diagonal buttresses, a moulded eaves cornice, an embattled parapet, and an octagonal timber bell turret. The turret features pointed, louvred openings on each face, an ogee roof, and a weather-vane finial.

On either side of the central hall, there are lower two-bay wings that are buttressed between the bays. The corners of the building are accentuated by octagonal clasping buttresses that rise as turret chimney stacks. The windows have mid-20th century casements set in the original chamfered openings, which are topped with labels. Each wing has a ridge stack. There are extensions at the rear, and a former Master's House adjoining the north-east angle, but these are not of particular interest.
