EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image transports us back in time to the 17th century, specifically to the Chapel of the Hospital for Lepers, also known as the Lock Hospital, located in Kent Street, Southwark. Established in 1636, this institution was dedicated to providing care and sanctuary for those afflicted with leprosy, a disease that was both feared and misunderstood during this era. The hospital, which operated until 1813, was a beacon of hope and compassion for those who were often shunned by society. The Chapel, with its distinctive bell tower and intricately carved wooden panels, stands as a testament to the spiritual and emotional support offered to the residents of the hospital. The serene interior, adorned with ornate furnishings and stained glass windows, would have provided a sense of solace and tranquility for the patients. The Lock Hospital was a pioneering institution in its approach to caring for those with leprosy, employing a team of skilled medical professionals and providing a safe and supportive community for its residents. The hospital's chapel played a central role in the daily lives of the patients, offering them a place to worship, find comfort, and connect with one another. This photograph, captured from an original print from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a rare glimpse into the history of medical care in Britain during the early modern period. It serves as a poignant reminder of the compassion and resilience that defined the Lock Hospital and the vital role it played in the lives of those who sought refuge within its walls.
