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

GV II

One of 2 ranges of almshouses, with chapel, 1859-60; altered. Red brick with bands of blue brick, sandstone dressings, tiled roof. Long rectangular plan centred on chapel, with 12 cottages (6 to each side). Single-storey except for chapel; symmetrical composition, in High Victorian Gothic style. The central chapel projects, presenting a 2-storey 2-bay steeply-pitched gabled facade which has 2-stage corner pilasters with pyramidal stone caps, and a central pilaster, has a foliated carved stone band carried round, below this a 3-bay blind arcade of stone in each bay, with deep chamfered sill, colonnettes, 2-centred arches and triangular zig-zagged hoodmould with figured stops; above the band, 2 plate-traceried 2-light windows with central colonnettes and quatrefoil heads, and between these (continued from the pilaster below) a statue of a bishop protected by a cusped canopy on slender shafts; above the canopy, an unusual cylindrical shaft rises to the full height of the gable, detached except for links to 2 stone bands in the gable and to the apex, where it becomes the front colonnette to a diagonally- flaunted stone bellcote with a tall pyramidal cap surmounted by a weather vane. The side walls have doorways under stone gables. At the rear, the chapel has an apsidal "east" end with lancet windows. 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 the bay, with stone sill and head-bands and altered glazing. In the centre of each side range there is also a semicircular bay with similar windows and conical roof; otherwise, each linking range has 2 similar windows with stone sills and heads, and saw- toothed eaves bands; roof with fish-scale bands, and tall corniced ridge chimneys. Rear: each pair of cottages has a recessed porch, but the design is otherwise plainer. Interior: chapel is a small single cell of simpler design than the exterior; otherwise, not inspected. History: see Holgate's Hospital: south range. (Note item crosses parish boundary, approx 1/3 being in HEMSWORTH CP to the east).
