Abstract:		 The three fever ward blocks at the Stamford Hospital (formerly Stamford and Rutland Infirmary) were built in 1876-79 and are listed (Grade II) as 'wings to east by E. Browning, 1879'. The present report seeks to enhance the current level of understanding of these buildings. In particular, it attempts to highlight key aspects of their historical significance and value by defining their position within the development of English hospital architecture, including both voluntary and public sectors. Fever wards - either within the main hospital building or within a detached structure - were a common adjunct to general infirmaries throughout the 19th century (see Appendix), but few examples survive today. The symmetrical trio of ward blocks at Stamford forms the most complete survival of its type in the country, retaining many original features, and is one of very few 19th-century infirmary fever complexes to be listed. Across all hospital typologies, it is one of just six fever hospitals/ward blocks to be listed: two of these were self-contained institutions (one voluntary and one local authority institution); four were ancillary to larger institutions (two general infirmaries and two mental hospitals). The Stamford ward blocks incorporate the views of the resident surgeon, Dr William Newman (1833-1903), who should be credited with their design alongside the architect, Edward Browning (1816-82).
