Summary

Grade II listed building. The Hospital of Sir John Hawkins, High Street, Chatham consists of almshouses founded for retired seamen in 1592 and rebuilt in 1789 before being converted to flats in 1983. The buildings are of two storeys and constructed of brick with tiled hipped roofs. They consist of parallel ranges each of four single-depth plan houses to a quadrangle, with a central rear Council House and rear three-house range. Each house has cambered heads to a doorway nearer the rear and 3-light mullion and transom windows with central metal casements and leaded lights. A brick archway to the right of the Council Room leads to a 19th century range of yellow brick houses matching the front ranges.
