Description
The Hospital of St John, rebuilt by Bernard Bedwell in 1801, is a two-storey building constructed of chequered brick with a retiled hipped roof facing the road. It has a half H plan and features four brick chimney stacks. There is a band between the storeys and leaded casements in segmental arched windows. The entrance has two modern doors with brick segmental arches flanking a round arched passage entrance, which is now blocked with a wooden lintel. Each of the two gabled arms has one window per storey, with the first-floor windows blocked. On the ground floor, there is a segmental arched two-light leaded casement window. The main building has had four modern windows inserted and has lost its central pediment. The Hospital of St John has been converted into four dwellings. It is part of a group that includes Nos. 80 to 84 (even), the Hospital of St John, and Nos. 86, 90A, and 90.
