The remains of the medieval hospital of St John’s in Quarter 34. Probably this was the oldest and most important of the three hospitals at Winchelsea, as certain rents were assigned to it from time immemorial. The 700 mm thick stone built gable wall of St. John’s Hospital is one of the most dominant remains of the medieval town, standing as it does beside the road into Winchelsea and easily visible from the A259. Although almost certainly dating from the medieval period, the wall contains no datable architectural features. The gable formed the western wall of a 7.95 metres (c26) wide x c18.50 metres (c60‘8”) long structure aligned parallel to the street, the lower courses of the original northern and eastern walls being built into the present field boundary.
