Description
St Crispin Hospital, Connolly Lodge is a former isolation hospital built in 1886 by Richard Griffiths of Stafford. The building features red, blue, and white brick with hipped slate roofs and brick internal and end stacks that have been cut down. It has a T-plan layout and is a single-storey structure.
At the center, there is a porch with a round-arched head and a dated keyblock leading to a three-storey tower. This tower has circular windows on the first floor, along with moulded brick and stone eaves. The tower is topped with a cupola that has a pyramidal roof and blank clock faces. The wings of the building are symmetrical, each featuring shallow segmental bay windows at the inner ends and sash windows.
On either side of the entrance and at each end of the wings, small pavilions with high French-style roofs project diagonally, adorned with cast-iron cresting along the ridges. A spinal corridor extends from the entrance to the wing at the rear. The lodge is situated to the north of the main building, aligned on the same north-south axis, facing the administration block across a lawn.
