St Andrews Hospital (Those Parts Formerly The Billericay Union Workhouse

St Andrews Hospital, formerly the Billericay Union Workhouse, was designed by G.G. Scott in 1840 in the Tudor style. The original layout features blocks of one and two storeys arranged in an H-shaped plan, with a central block extending at the rear. A 20th-century hospital block now occupies the forecourt. The buildings are constructed of red brick, accented with yellow brick quoins, window and door dressings, and black brick diapering. The main block has six shallow gabled wings projecting from the front, with single-storey wings extending from the north-west and south-east ends. The windows are generally mullioned and transomed casements with heavy lattice lights, and each window range rises to a diapered gable. The roofs are tiled, featuring square and diagonally shafted chimney stacks.
