Description

The Hospice is a 17th-century building located on the north side of Holt Road in Little Walsingham. It is constructed of flint with brick dressings and features a steep pantile roof with coped gable ends and brick dentil eaves. The building has two storeys and an attic, with five bays and irregularly spaced windows, some of which are blocked. The windows include sashes with glazing bars, one with thick glazing bars, three on the ground floor, and one modern window on the first floor. There is a small 17th-century two-light casement window at the center of the first floor, which has an ovolo moulded mullion.

The building also has four flat-roofed dormers; two in the center are 18th-century with cornices and three-light casements with glazing bars, while the left dormer is similar but modern, and the right dormer is modern without a cornice. There are brick chimney stacks located at the center and at the ends of the building.

Inside, the ground floor features a large panelled room with fielded panelling and moulded and chamfered beams, originally designed as three rooms. At the center of the rear (north) is a staircase tower that contains an early 17th-century staircase with heavy moulded balusters, a moulded rail, and a moulded string.

At the west end, there is a lower section that is also two storeys and an attic, constructed in the 17th century with flint and brick dressings, and a steep pantile roof with coped gabled ends. This section includes two 17th-century three-light casements with leaded panes on the first floor, a modern three-light sash on the ground floor, and an 18th-century flat-roofed dormer with a cornice and three-light casement.
