Abbot's Hospital, Historic almshouse in Guildford, England
The Abbot's Hospital features classical Jacobean architecture with two courtyards, multiple residential units, and gardens located on Guildford's High Street.
George Abbot, Archbishop of Canterbury, established this residential facility in 1619 to house elderly individuals from Guildford who needed accommodation and support.
The building's design mirrors the architectural elements of Oxford University colleges, incorporating formal courtyards and traditional English construction methods.
Current residents maintain independent lifestyles within the facility, which provides housing for up to thirty elderly individuals in the center of Guildford.
The Constitutional Hall within the hospital complex housed Guildford's first cinema and remains largely unchanged since its construction in 1885.
