Bellott'S

Bellott's, formerly known as Bellott's Hospital, is a pair of almshouses located on Beau Street. Founded in 1608, the current building was constructed in 1859 by architects Cotterell and Spackman. The structure is made of coursed squared limestone with a Welsh slate roof and features a half H-plan layout, with wings extending from the street elevation.

The building stands two storeys high and has four windows. It has a rusticated plinth and the central portion slightly projects, featuring a doorway with a plain reveal, a panelled door, and a rectangular light above it. An inscribed stone above the door reads "BELLOTTS." The ground floor has plain windows with relieving arches made of alternating blocks of limestone and pennant stone. All windows are six over six sashes with sills supported by consoles. Above the door, there is a coat-of-arms set in an arched recess, accompanied by an inscription panel that notes the founding date of 1608 and the rebuilding date of 1859. This coat-of-arms and the inscription commemorating Tobias Rustat's gift of the land in 1672 are reused from the previous building. A continuous sill band runs along the first floor, and the eaves cornice is supported by corbels. The hipped roof has a shallow pitch and features tall ashlar stacks. The return elevation facing Bilbury Lane has six over six sashes on each floor, along with a roundel with a raised surround, and additional six over six sashes on the end elevations of the wings.

The interior has not been inspected. Historically, the original foundation was established by Thomas Bellott around 1608 to provide housing for "poor diseased persons not infected with any contagious disease" in the City of Bath. By the mid-19th century, the building was in a state of picturesque decay and was overshadowed by the nearby Royal United Hospital, which opened in 1826. As a result, it was rebuilt in 1859 with a design that was described as "less ornamental than useful" in 1875.
