The Roundhouse

The Roundhouse is a former outpatients' department, now used as offices, built between 1883 and 1884 by architect John Dodsley Webster. It was restored and converted around 1988. The building is constructed of coursed squared stone with ashlar dressings and features a pyramidal slate roof topped with a domed octagonal lantern.

The central block is two stories tall and octagonal in shape, with two round-arched glazing bar windows on each side, all featuring plain stone surrounds, keystones, and impost bands. The north-east side has three similar windows and a large, capped double side wall stack above them, which includes a recessed central panel with a round-arched opening.

Flanking the central block are single-storey wings of varying lengths, each with renewed 8-pane glazing bar sashes that have stone surrounds and sillbands, with some featuring mullions. The longest wing, located to the south-west, contains two 8-pane sashes and a larger tripartite sash to their right. The north-west wing is distinguished by a four-columned Doric portico that covers a 20th-century glazed double door with an overlight. The south-west wing has an entrance adorned with panelled pilasters and heavy scroll brackets supporting a corniced stone hood, with a single window on either side.

The interior, refitted around 1988, includes panelled angle pilasters and a cornice with roundel panels above. The octagonal roof features wrought-iron lattice girders with monograms in the spandrels. The wings are connected to create an annular corridor and linked offices.
