Description
Jesus Hospital, also known as Llanrwst Almshouses, is a one and a half storey, six bay almshouse range built from local rubble sitting on a chamfered plinth. It features three pairs of tall stone chimneys with diagonal stacks and moulded caps, along with a further stack at the rear, all topped with slate roofs. Each bay has a gabled dormer, complete with kneelers, featuring a two-light mullioned window set across the eaves line, and iron casement glazing. The stone eaves brackets add to the architectural detail.
On the ground floor, each bay has a restored three-light mullioned window with horned sash glazing, although the west ground floor apartment has been reduced to a passageway providing access to Tan-y-Ffynwent behind. The gable end facing the churchyard is adorned with kneelers and a stone eagle at the apex, along with a 17th century stone plaque that records the history of the building. At the rear, there are two small gables with two-light stone mullioned windows, again featuring iron casement glazing.
To the right, there is a small two-storey wing that is at right angles to the main block, likely dating from 19th century alterations. This wing serves as a porch and provides a replacement room on the upper floor for one lost to an archway. It has a tall chimney stack with a diagonal chimney and small windows on either side at ground level. The main block includes doors to lower rooms and to stone stairs that divide at the first floor to access the upper rooms. The door and window openings are set under deep stone lintels, with a former left door converted into a window, and the left room accessed through a door in the eastern passageway.
Inside, the ground floor rooms feature massive stop-chamfered beams and joists, along with 19th century fireplaces, while the upper rooms are ceiled.
