Full Description
St. Leonard’s Hospice has incorporated the ancillary buildings (cottage and stable) of a large late-Victorian house named ‘Dringthorpe’. The grand house was home to many affluent middle-class families, before becoming a school for the blind in 1950. The main house was demolished in 1965 and St. Leonard’s Hospice was built on part of the grounds, with the rest of the grounds later used for residential development. The surviving cottage and stable block give an impression of the main house, with ornate chimneys, roof tiles and bargeboards. The buildings hold high aesthetic and historic value, increasing our understanding of the area and acting as reminders of the lost Victorian villa.
