Description
The main building of Amersham Hospital was designed by architect George Gilbert Scott in 1838 and is built in the Tudor style. It features unknapped flint set in yellow mortar, with red brick dressings and quoins, and has a slate roof. The building stands three storeys tall with a high attic. On either side of the center, there are slightly canted full-height square bays topped with steep gables for the dormers. The central doorway is plain, and the front has 2-light cross mullion moulded brick windows. There is a three-storey wing that includes three dormer gables with a diaper pattern, and one bay projects at the ends with chimney stacks in the gables, also featuring a diaper pattern. Additionally, there is a one-storey projecting wing with knapped squared flint gable ends. The rear elevation has been altered.
