G.V. II
Gatehouse to Hospital. 1659 date on (mid C19?) copy of panel, in frame over
central passage arch, is incorrect; late C17 drawing (by Machel) shows date was
1663. Initials T.S., for Thomas Sandes (dealer in Kendal cottons and mayor
1647-48), were on the original but a K (for Katherine, his wife) has been added
and the coat of arms (combining those of Sandes with the Shearman dyers') is an
embellishment. Wet-dashed rubble; eaves cornice to taller, central block.
Graduated slate roofs; rendered mid and end chimneys. Symmetrical: 2 storeys,
5 bays (1:3:1). Central block has wide, semicircular-headed passage arch with
single window to either side and 3 above; the wings have a single window to each
floor. Ground floor windows are 3-light and 1st floor 4-light; all
wood-mullioned with square-leaded panes. Plank door to either side in passage;
on north side is an iron-lidded alms box, initialled T.S., set in a niche with 2
inscriptions above: REMEMBER THE POORE (sic) in low relief (C17) and Remember
the Poor Widows, carved in Roman lettering (C18?). Interior not inspected;
R.C.H.M. (1936) reports initialled and dated decorative plaster panel (T. &
K.S. 1661), part of scrollwork frieze, and some original panelling to 1st floor.
