St John's Hospital Old School

Blyth
Nottinghamshire
England

This was a former leper hospital of St John the Evangelist, refounded in 1226 but apparently rebuilt on this site in 1446 with older material. It was being used as a school in 1695. It is a rectangular building with dog-tooth ornament in its jambs and in its segmental-arched door. There are hoodmoulds over the (altered) 17th century windows. The building has since been converted (1977) into flats for older people.
