Rauceby was simply a scaled down version of Hine’s popular echelon design. Interestingly, he couldn’t provide a continuous route through the wards (as he did for Bexley and his subsequent designs) - this was probably due to space considerations.

Therefore some of the wards required returning to the main semi-circular corridor which travelled from one end of the hospital to the other. In this way, the design represented his first large asylum plan at Claybury.
