Orphan-House, Ashley Down, near Bristol, 1850. Creator: Unknown
Orphan-House, Ashley Down, near Bristol, 1850.... there has lately sprung up a new religious sect, known by the inconvenient and undeclinable name of Craik-and-Mullerites, whose prime article of belief is the power of prayer. Mr Muller says "Without any sectarian distinction whatever...orphans are received...Three things only are requisite: that the children should have been born in lawful wedlock; that they should be bereaved of both parents; and that they should be in destitute circumstances...children may be admitted...provided that they speak English, and that there is nothing peculiar in the case that would make them unsuitable inmates for the establishment...without any one having been personally applied to for anything by me, the sum of £33, 868 11s. 1d. has been given to me for the orphans, as the result of prayer to God, since the commencement of the work". From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in 1850, depicts the Orphan-House in Ashley Down, near Bristol, England. The image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of those who sought refuge in this institution during the Victorian era. The Orphan-House was established by George Muller, a German-born British religious leader and philanthropist, who founded the Craik-and-Mullerite sect. This new religious movement, which had no distinct sectarian identity, welcomed orphans into their care, providing them with a home and education. The requirements for admission were simple: the children had to have been born in lawful wedlock, bereaved of both parents, and be in destitute circumstances. The children were not required to speak any particular language or have any unique circumstances that would make them unsuitable for the establishment. Muller's belief in the power of prayer was the driving force behind the Orphan-House, and donations poured in from individuals who had been moved to give in response to prayer. The photograph captures the rural setting of the Orphan-House, with boys playing cricket in the countryside. The image is a poignant reminder of the past, highlighting the importance of faith, community, and care for the most vulnerable members of society. The Orphan-House at Ashley Down stands as a testament to the power of compassion and the belief that every child deserves a safe and loving home.
