EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the Savoy, a historic building situated on the south bank of the River Thames in London, as it appeared around 1650. The Savoy, with its grand facade and towering chimneys, stands proudly against the backdrop of the Thames, its reflection shimmering on the water's surface. At this time in history, the Savoy served an important role as a hospital for the poor, providing much-needed care and shelter for those in need. The Savoy's origins can be traced back to the 13th century when it was founded by the Bishops of London as a residence and a place of refuge for pilgrims. Over the centuries, it underwent various transformations, including periods as a royal palace, a military barracks, and a monastery. However, during the 17th century, it became a vital institution for the care of the city's destitute population. The Savoy Hospital, as it was known, was run by a governing body of trustees and relied on the generosity of donors to support its operations. The hospital provided food, shelter, and medical care to the sick, the elderly, and the infirm, offering them a sanctuary from the harsh realities of life on the streets. The Savoy's commitment to caring for the less fortunate continued for over three centuries, making it one of the oldest charities in the United Kingdom. This view of the Savoy from the River Thames in 1650 offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era when the building stood as a beacon of hope and compassion for London's needy population.
