EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1914, capturing the timeless beauty of the Almshouses in St Germans, Cornwall. Originally built by Sir William Moyles in the 16th century as a charitable institution, these historic buildings were later converted into four dwellings during the 20th century. Today, they stand as a testament to both architectural excellence and community spirit. Designated as a Grade II listed building in 1951, this remarkable structure showcases stunning Cornish architecture that has withstood the test of time. The intricate details and craftsmanship are evident in every corner of this magnificent edifice. From its charming street view to its elegant façade, it exudes an aura of grace and dignity. The significance of these almshouses goes beyond their architectural grandeur; they symbolize compassion and support for those less fortunate within society. A beacon of hope for many generations, they have provided shelter and solace to countless individuals over centuries. Photographed by Herbert Hughes, this image captures not only the physical beauty but also tells a story about philanthropy and communal harmony. It serves as a reminder that acts of kindness can create lasting legacies that benefit entire communities. As we gaze upon this photograph print from Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back in time to witness history unfolding before our eyes—a visual tribute to those who selflessly dedicated themselves towards creating homes filled with love and care for others.
