Description

St Giles's Hospital, located on King Street, is a Grade II listed building said to have been founded by Adelicia, the wife of Henry I. It was re-erected on this site in the mid-19th century due to Lord Pembroke's desire to enclose the north-east corner of Wilton Park. The building is designed in the Tudor-Gothic style and features a symmetrical gabled front with two storeys. It is constructed of brick with slate roofs and has five brick ridge chimneys.

The façade includes a central gabled break and two outer gabled breaks, all with scalloped bargeboards, as well as two smaller gables with plain bargeboards above the first-floor windows, which are set back. The first-floor windows are two-light casements, with the outer ones featuring moulded labels. The central window is part of a six-light oriel supported by a moulded corbel. On the ground floor, there are three-light casements, with the central window having a moulded label, and the outer windows are five-light square hipped bays.

The central and outer gabled breaks are connected by a pent porch that leads to five doors. Above the ground floor, there is a band inscribed with "Hospitium S: Egidii Adelicia Reg: Hen: Fund" in raised Gothic letters. In front of the building, there is a pitched path and a three-foot brick wall along the street, which features central gate piers that are stone capped and inscribed with "St Giles's Hospital."
