St John's Hospital, Bath, Medieval almshouse in Bath, England.
The two-story Bath stone structure features rounded arches on the ground floor and contains 54 apartments designed for elderly residents.
St John's Hospital was founded in 1174 by Bishop Reginald Fitz Jocelin near the Cross Bath thermal springs to provide shelter for poor individuals.
The Grade I listed building exemplifies the Palladian architectural style that characterizes many structures in the city of Bath.
The facility provides independent living accommodations for residents over 65 years old from Bath and North East Somerset, with access to shared amenities.
Research from Bayes Business School suggests residents at this almshouse may live up to two and a half years longer due to its community environment.
