Handcock's hospital, dated 1712, has an eleven bay front, two storeys and a pediment. It is still in use as an almshouse. {2}
Peter Hancock's hospital is east of the church and is dated 1712. It is facing the green and grand in a portly way. The hospital was constructed of brick and has an eleven-bay front, two storeys, a pediment, stone angle quoins and stone strings. The hospital, the former Kitchings school of 1843 with characteristic bellcote, and the former school house (now the museum) form a modest group around the green. {1}
Four red brick almshouses, now cottages. Above the central window is an ashlar plaque inscribed: "Impensis Petri Hancock Armiger A.D. MDCCXII". For the full description and the legal address of this listed building please refer to the appropriate List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. {3}
These almshouses originally housed seven men and seven women. They are still in use for their original purpose, despite a lapse around 1837, although they have now been converted to flats. {4} | Subjects: | Building | Temporal: | 1712 - 2050 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
