EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Alms Houses in Vicars Close, Wells, a hidden gem from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online. This vintage photograph transports us to an era long past, with its intriguing blend of history, architecture, and human compassion. Vicars Close, a narrow, cobblestone lane in the heart of the medieval city of Wells, Somerset, England, is home to this remarkable collection of Alms Houses. Built between 1340 and 1360, these structures were designed to provide shelter and support for the elderly, infirm, and poor members of the Vicar's Guild. The close was established by Bishop Ralph of Shrewsbury to ensure that the vicars and their families had a secure and comfortable living arrangement. The image showcases the Alms Houses in their early splendor, with their half-timbered facades, slate roofs, and ornate windows. The warm, golden glow of the lantern illuminates the scene, casting long, dramatic shadows and highlighting the intricate details of the buildings. The sense of community is palpable, as residents go about their daily lives, while the close's peaceful, secluded atmosphere offers a respite from the bustling city outside. This photograph, taken during the Victorian or Edwardian era, captures the essence of a bygone age, offering a glimpse into the lives of those who lived in these historic Alms Houses. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of our past and the importance of preserving our rich heritage for future generations to enjoy and learn from.
