Summary

Doughty's Hospital was a home for aged people, built by William Doughty for twenty-four poor men and poor women, in 1687. It was rebuilt in 1869 on the sparse remains of the 17th century ground floor walls, and so is outwardly Victorian. There are three ranges arranged around a courtyard, two storeys high and built of red brick. The buildings are now sheltered housing.
