Description

Lincoln Christ Hospital School and the attached headmaster's house were built in 1905 by Leonard Stokes. The buildings are constructed from buff brick with stone dressings and feature slate roofs, highlighted by eight prominent coped stacks along the front parapet. They are designed in a vernacular Jacobean Revival style.

The exterior includes a chamfered plinth and a coped parapet. Most of the windows are cross casements. The main block is two storeys high with thirteen bays and features a full-width round-headed arcade that forms a brick vaulted cloister. Above this arcade is a projecting centrepiece with a central window topped by a crest, flanked by single shallow canted bay windows. This is further adorned with a moulded segmental pediment featuring another crest. On either side of the centrepiece are three triple cross casements. At the top, there is a square wooden bell turret with a clock and an open bell stage with volutes, capped by a concave-sided spire. To the left of the main block is a three-bay wing with a canted bay window, while to the right is a larger wing that includes a single-storey flat-roofed office in the return angle.

The attached headmaster's house is built from red and buff brick and features modillion eaves and three ridge stacks. It is two storeys plus attics and has five bays. The windows throughout are glazing bar sashes. The central bay window is flanked by two-storey canted bay windows. To the right, there is a moulded doorcase with a keystone, a round-headed opening, and a half-glazed door, along with a sash window. To the left are two additional sashes. Above the central bay window, there is a triple sash flanked by single sashes, and beyond that, there are two sashes on either side. Above again, there are nine flat-roofed dormers. The irregular rear elevations do not feature stone dressings.
