SOUTH HIENDLEY ROBIN LANE (north side) Holgate's Hospital: south range (formerly listed by inclusion under "Archbishop Holgate's Hospital with Chapel, Porters Lodge and Master's House").

GV II

One of 2 ranges of almshouses with entrance archway and porter's lodge. 1859-60, enlarged 1913, altered. Red brick with bands of blue brick, sandstone dressings, tiled roof. Long rectangular plan centred on entrance block with porter's lodge, formerly with 8 cottages (4 each side) but enlarged to 12 (2 added at each end). Single storey, with 2-storey centre block; symmetrical composition in Gothic style; entrance block of 2 storeys and 3 bays has central archway flanked by chamfered pilasters finished with stone gablets each containing a shield and a bishop's mitre, and between these a deep arched stone band lettered "HOSPITAL.OF.ROBERT.HOLGATE.ABP. FD.1555"; at lst floor above this, rising into a large central gable, a 2- centred arched plate-traceried 2-light window with chamfered surround, hoodmould with figured stops, and brick extrados; the outer bays each have one window on each floor, all of cusped-plate traceried lights, with deep chamfered sills and rectangular lintels, the upper rising into dormer gablets; steeply-pitched gablets and gables, all with raised verges, and flat stone copings with ridged kneelers, and that in the centre with stepped apex: roof with fishscale bands, ridge chimney to right of centre. The low single- storey side ranges each consist of 6 cottages grouped in pairs, each pair having a recessed porch flanked by bay windows in a single composition of unusual and striking design: the porch has a trefoil-headed archway with moulded stone head and hoodmould, which carries round the bays, brick extrados, and steeply-pitched gablet with stepped apex, and the flanking bay windows are triangular, with high crow-stepped parapets; there is a doorway in each side of the porch and a small 2-light window in its recessed rear wall; and a vertical rectangular window in each face of each bay, with stone sill- and head-bands and altered glazing. The 2-bay linking ranges have similar windows with stone sills and heads, and saw-toothed eaves bands; roof with fish-scale bands and some cockscomb ridging tiles, and tall corniced ridge chimneys. The added pairs at each end are in matching style but of slightly more generous proportions, that at the left end with the date "1913" over the porch; and the roofs lack the bands. Rear: each pair of cottages has a recessed rear porch, but the design is otherwise plainer. Interior: 1st floor of entrance block contains Board Room, with fireplace in elaborate stone surround lettered "HOSP.ROBT.HOLGATE" "FOUNDED 1555.REBT. 1860". Each cottage consists of three small rooms: sitting room, scullery (now kitchen) and bedroom (partitioned to make bathroom) but layouts differ slightly. History: Robert Holgate of Hemsworth, moderate Protestant Reformer of the English Reformation, became Archbishop of York in 1545, married, was deprived of his See by Mary; and in his will, endowed the almshouse at his birthplace. The present buildings (occupying the 3rd site), were designed 1857-59 as part of a quadrangle, with a pair of intended ranges (not built) at each end in addition to this item and the north range and Master's House (q.v.); as shown by the architect's drawing in the Board Room.
