Diocesan House, St Albans
Diocesan House, St Albans, Grade II listed former coaching inn in St Albans, England
The Diocesan House stands on Verulam Road, featuring nineteenth-century architecture with a distinctive Lombardic style tower adjacent to its main structure.
Built in 1826 as The Verulam Arms coaching inn, the building later became the Bishop's Palace in 1908 and served as a maternity hospital during World War II.
The building maintains its religious connections through regular services in its chapel while functioning as a nursing and residential care facility.
Located at Verulam Road, the facility operates as Verulam House Nursing and Residential Home, providing care services since 1996.
Over two thousand births occurred at this location between 1939 and 1946 when it operated as a wartime maternity hospital for evacuated London residents.
