Description

St Giles's Hospital is a group of almshouses, likely built in the 17th century. The structure is made of rubble with a Welsh slate roof featuring three stone-coped gables at the front and stone-coped gable parapets. There are three tall brick chimneys with blind arcading, set on stone stack bases. The building has a six-unit plan and is single storey with an attic. It includes three six-light chamfered mullion casements, along with two two-light casements in the gables above. The windows are flanked by plank doors set in chamfered cases, which are sheltered by simple porch hoods.
