Description SECOND DOE REF: R12/333 BUILDING DESCRIPTION: Dining hall and Water Tower to north, School to south, colonnaded wings to east and west (chapel in west wing) forming a quadrangle, and 8 H-shaped blocks (4 on each side of Dining Hall) at Christ's Hospital (formerly listed as Christ's Hospital School). The School was moved from London to this site at Stammerham in 1902. Architect Sir Aston Webb. Red brick. Tudor style. The main buildings consist of 8 blocks on the north arranged in a slight convex curve, and a quadrangle in the centre, the north side of which is in line with and in the centre of these 8 blocks. Each block is H-shaped and contains 2 boarding- houses. Each block has 3 storeys and 10 windows to south front and 3 windows to inner sides of wings. Gables to the projecting wings of each block and in the centre of all 3 sides of the courtyards which they form. Balustraded parapet between the gables. Stone doorway in the centre of each courtyard with bay window over. Large 4-light windows on ground floor of south front of wings with stone pilasters between the lights. The quadrangle consists of the Dining Hall on the north, the Big School on the south and colonnaded wings on each side, of which the west one contains the Chapel. The Dining Hall has 5 large bays rising the whole height of the building, the outer ones being immense windows of 5-lights each arranged in 7 tiers with stone mullions and transoms. Four round-headed arches between the bays, each containing one 2- light window of 3 tiers. Behind the Dining Hall on the north is the tall Water Tower. The Big School at the south end of the quadrangle has 9 bays containing Perpendicular style windows, a gable end flanked by octagonal turrets and a square clock tower over the roof. On each side of the Big School is a square block joined to it by a wide rusticated arch with balustrade over. On the back or south side of the Big School, Wren's portico from the old school in Newgate Street, London was re-erected as part of the building. The east and west sides of the quadrangle have 2 storeys and 14 windows each. They have projections at each end which are joined to each other by a projecting colonnade with balustrade over. Gables above the end projections and in the centre of each side, with a statue beneath each gable. The Chapel contains panels by Sir Frank Brangwyn. These side buildings are joined to the Dining Hall on the north by colonnades with archways in the centre surmounted by gables. These archways came from the old school in Newgate Street, London and were re-erected here in 1902 (as were the iron gates and stone pillars giving entrance to the school grounds from Horsham Road). They were designed by John Shaw in 1836. One of them has an inscription over it. Facts about Description
