II*
Former leprosy Hospital (Magdalen Chapel) C12. Later an almshouse until C17. Restored 1906 by Sir Eustace Gurney and subsequently a Branch Library. Now a day centre for people with learning disabilities. Flint rubble with stone and some brick dressings; pantiled roof.
Now L-plan. Two storeys (mostly open to roof); six window range at right-angles to street. Norman doorway in gable end has attached shafts with cushion capitals and roll-moulded voussoirs. Round-headed window (renewed) above with two small blind slits and two oculi with brick dressings at the head of the gable. Right-side elevation has a damaged Norman door and another blocked door with four-centred brick arch. Red brick reconstruction with two- and three-light mullioned and transomed windows, together with a single-storey wing at right angles and its projecting porch presumably date from the early C20 restoration.
Interior: medieval window splays and dressings include two round headed arches with earstone dressings in the west gable. Most roof-timbers replaced. Founded before 1119 by Herbert de Losigna, the nave was used as the hospital and the chancel served as a chapel for the inmates.
