In converting the old hospital into residential use, plenty of thought was given to planting and flowers in open spaces. This western courtyard backs onto the old mortuary in the past. The buildings were designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott, assisted by William Bonython Moffatt - an architect who worked with Scott on several projects. Oddly, the modern road is spelled 'Moffat' with just the one T.
