Beamsley Hospital, Grade I listed hospital building in Beamsley, England
The hospital features a circular design with two stone drums, where the inner structure extends through the roof to illuminate the central chapel.
Lady Margaret Russell, Countess of Cumberland, founded this charitable institution in 1593 to provide accommodation for thirteen poor widows in the community.
The hospital's architecture combines religious and residential spaces, with seven radiating rooms surrounding a central chapel furnished with bobbin pews.
The structure maintains its original fireplaces and contains multiple two-light windows with chamfered mullions throughout the stone and slate building.
The circular layout incorporates clerestory lighting through three-light windows, creating a distinctive illumination pattern in the central worship space.
