EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enduring charm of the 17th century Almshouses in the picturesque town of Chipping Campden, nestled in the heart of the Cotswolds, Gloucestershire. The image, taken by renowned photographer Jon Wyand for Historic England, showcases the exterior of this historic building in all its Stuart-era glory. The Almshouses, a testament to the generosity and care of the community, were established to provide shelter and support for the elderly, the infirm, and the poor. The building's timber-framed structure, with its intricate brick and stonework, exudes a sense of history and tradition. The tall, narrow windows, adorned with wooden mullions and casements, allow the sunlight to filter in, casting warm, inviting beams across the worn cobblestone path leading to the entrance. The peaceful, tranquil setting, surrounded by lush greenery and the gentle rolling hills of the Cotswolds, adds to the serene atmosphere. The Almshouses stand as a reminder of a time when community and compassion were at the forefront of societal values. This photograph, with its rich history and timeless beauty, invites us to reflect on the importance of caring for one another and preserving our heritage for future generations to enjoy.
