EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a Brother of St Cross Hospital in Winchester, England, takes a leisurely stroll through the Inner Quadrangle of this ancient and venerable institution. Established in 1132, St Cross Hospital is the oldest surviving charitable institution in the United Kingdom, making it an invaluable piece of medieval history. The Brother, clad in his traditional robes and carrying a simple staff or "dole," embodies the noble spirit of service and dedication that has sustained this almshouse for over eight centuries. The Hospital of St Cross, also known as the Almshouse of the Blessed Cross, has provided shelter, food, and care for the poor and infirm since its founding by King Henry I. The Brothers, who are members of the Order of St Cross, have played a crucial role in the hospital's mission by serving the residents, maintaining the buildings, and ensuring the smooth running of daily operations. This image, first published in The Sunday Times in 1990, captures a moment of quiet reflection and tranquility in the midst of the bustling almshouse. The Brothers' simple attire, the worn stones of the quadrangle, and the verdant foliage create a striking contrast between the past and the present, inviting us to contemplate the enduring power of charity and compassion. This vintage photograph, with its rich history and timeless appeal, is a testament to the resilience and relevance of St Cross Hospital and its Brothers in the modern world.
