EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 19th century photograph captures the tranquil and charitable essence of Whittington's Almshouses and Hospital, located next to St. Michael Paternoster Royal in the historic heart of the City of London. The image showcases the elegant arched doorway of the Almshouse, which once provided shelter and support for the elderly, infirm, and deserving poor. The Gothic Revival architecture of the building, with its intricate stonework and pointed arches, reflects the compassionate and pious intentions of its founder, Sir Richard Whittington, a successful merchant and Lord Mayor of London in the late 14th and early 15th centuries. The Almshouse, also known as Whittington's College, was established in 1397 and has continued to serve its purpose for over six centuries. The adjacent hospital, which is not visible in this photograph, was added in the late 16th century to provide medical care to the residents. The close proximity of the Almshouse and hospital underscores the holistic approach to caring for the less fortunate, addressing both their physical and spiritual needs. The peaceful scene in the photograph, with the sun casting long shadows over the cobblestone street, conveys a sense of timelessness and continuity. The Almshouse remains an enduring symbol of the generosity and benevolence of the City of London, providing a sanctuary for those in need and preserving a rich piece of history for future generations.
