Horton General Hospital, Main Entrance Block Fronting Oxford Road

The main entrance block of Horton General Hospital, originally built as an infirmary, dates from 1869 to 1872 and was designed by Charles Driver. H.R. Franklins of Deddington were the builders. The building is constructed of red brick, with bands of blue brick, and stone dressings, and features a steeply pitched red tile roof and brick end stacks. The design follows an E-shaped plan and is executed in the Gothic style.

The central, slightly projecting entrance bay, which rises to one and a half storeys, is flanked by gabled, single-storey side wings. The entrance bay has a central doorway with a pointed arch framed in red and blue brick and a stone hoodmould with label stops. A two-story glass porch was added in the 20th century. An embattled tower with machicolations is also present. The ground floor has sash windows with horns and stone surrounds, while the attic storey features half-dormers with hipped roofs and sashes with horns. The windows of the attic storey have tall, narrow openings with pointed red and blue brick and stone decoration to their heads. Stone copings and dentilled eaves are also present.

Later 20th-century single-storey brick extensions to the front of the building obscure some of the detail of the side wings, and these are not considered to be of special architectural interest. The interior retains the original roof structure.
