Description
Westcott House is a Grade II listed building located on the south side of Jesus Lane. Constructed between 1899 and 1929, it features an attractive "Tudor" court designed by architects including Hartwell Simpson, Grayson and Ould, Temple Moore, and Morley Horden, who designed the chapel. The buildings are made of red brick with stone dressings, standing two storeys high with attics. They have three and four light mullion windows with lattice casements and include a central gatehouse. Notable features include two iron footscrapers, one shaped like a pig and the other like a rabbit, though the rabbit is missing its ears. The north range was built in 1899 by Grayson and Ould, the west range by Hartwell Simpson in 1912, and the east range's southern part was completed in 1914 by Temple Moore, with further additions made in 1923, 1926, and 1929 by Morley Horder, including the chapel. Visually, the complex resembles a cloister for the nearby Church of All Saints designed by Bodley. All the buildings on the south side of Jesus Lane form a cohesive group.
