Brief description
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorpe_Hall_(Peterborough)#
2024: "Thorpe Hall at Longthorpe in the city of Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, is a Grade I listed building,[1] built by Peter Mills between 1653 and 1656, for the Lord Chief Justice, Oliver St John. The house is unusual in being one of the very few mansions built during the Commonwealth period.[2] After a period as a hospital, it is currently used as a Sue Ryder hospice.
Thorpe Hall is situated in a Grade II listed garden that is open to members of the public throughout the year. The curved walls forming the entrance courtyard, gatepiers and entrance gates,[6] former stables to the right,[7] and a shouldered stone architrave gateway flanked by vertically halved pilasters with volutes[8] are also Grade I listed buildings. The late 19th-century lodge,[9] octagonal summerhouse in red brick with fish scale slate roof,[10] and a free-standing archway resembling a Venetian window in design[11] are Grade II listed buildings.
A maternity hospital from 1943 to 1970, it was transferred to the National Health Service in 1948, coming under No. 12 Group (Peterborough and Stamford Hospitals Management Committee) of the East Anglian Regional Hospital Board.[12] In 1986 it was acquired by the Sue Ryder Foundation and is currently in use as a hospice."
