Description
The Hospital of St John the Baptist, built in 1878, is a single-storey structure located on Bondgate in Ripon. It features brown brick construction with red brick strings and black brick voussoirs, along with timber-framed gable ends and tiled roofs. The building has three gabled projections; the two end projections each contain one casement window and have half-hipped roofed porches with cusped arcaded timber sides. The central projection has two similar porches side by side. The main body of the building includes four pairs of arched sash windows. The doors are four-panelled with diagonal boarding, set in segment-headed openings.
Historically, the hospital is first mentioned in the Valor Ecclesiasticus of 1535, which describes it as a house with an attached close. A Charity Commissioners Report from 1820 noted a small one-storey house on Bondgate that accommodated two sisters. This original building was replaced by the current structure in 1878.
