EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Hospital of St Cross in Winchester, Hampshire during the early 20th century. Standing tall against the backdrop of a serene countryside, this 12th-century almshouse is not only a remarkable architectural marvel but also holds the prestigious title of being Britain's oldest charitable institution. The image showcases the exterior view of this medieval gem, evoking a sense of history and tradition. The monochrome tones add an air of timelessness to the scene, transporting viewers back to an era when poverty was prevalent and charity played a vital role in society. Built by Henry de Blois, also known as Henry of Blois, this almshouse served as a sanctuary for those less fortunate. Its enduring presence stands as a testament to its founder's philanthropic vision and commitment to helping others. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded that even amidst challenging times, acts of kindness can create lasting legacies. The Hospital of St Cross continues to inspire us with its noble purpose and serves as a reminder that compassion knows no boundaries. This photograph is brought to us by L Newman from The Square in London – capturing not just an architectural masterpiece but also preserving our cultural heritage for generations to come.
