Littlemore Hospital was built 1844-1846 to designs by R N Clark, and was originally opened as the 'Oxford County and City Pauper Lunatic Asylum'. Subsequent extensions to the building were carried out throughout the second half of the 19th century, including the addition of a Chapel and Medical Superintendent's House in 1882-3. During the First World War the hospital was used as a military hospital - Ashurst War Hospital - and then following the war reopened as the 'Oxford County and City Mental Hospital'. In 1922 it was renamed Littlemore Hospital. The hospital closed in 1998 and the main building was converted into apartments.
