Description
The church at De La Pole Hospital, built between 1880 and 1885 by Smith & Brodrick of Hull, is a disused structure made of red brick with ashlar and blue brick dressings, topped with slate roofs. It is designed in the Early English style and features a plinth, sill band, and coped gables. The building includes pointed arched windows with hood moulds, a chancel, a nave with porches, a south transept, an organ chamber, and a bell turret.
The chancel has two bays and a canted apse with a hipped roof and three single lancets, while the north side has two lancets. The nave consists of four bays with small buttresses, and to the east, there are two three-light windows with geometrical tracery. The west end features a large five-light window with similar tracery. Lean-to porches cover the western part of the nave, each with a triple lancet window to the west and a pointed arched double doorway to the east, supported by a central round column. The south transept has a three-light traceried window in the gable and a single lancet to the east. There is a plain square tower in the return angle to the west, which is a single stage with a pointed arched doorway. The round ashlar bell turret has open arcading and a plain spire topped with a cross.
Inside, the church has plain brick walls with flush ashlar sill and impost bands. The chancel features a moulded and rebated arch with a hood mould and imposts, along with an arch-braced roof. The south side includes a pointed arched doorway with a hood mould and a pointed arched opening for the organ. The apse has wooden ribs on corbels, and there is no stained glass present. The chancel has a common rafter roof, with arch braces on foliage corbels and tie rods in alternate bays. The windows and doorways have chamfered heads. Fittings include a panelled wooden pulpit, original benches and choir stalls, and an altar rail on wrought iron supports. Memorials within the church include a Gothic style marble and slate tablet from around 1900.
