EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Church of the Hospital of St Cross in Winchester, Hampshire during the early 20th century. The church stands as a testament to Britain's oldest charitable institution, founded back in the 12th century. Its medieval architecture and rich history make it an iconic landmark in England. The image showcases the grand exterior of this religious sanctuary, highlighting its intricate details and strong Norman influences. The monochrome filter adds a timeless quality to the photograph, transporting viewers back to a bygone era. Located amidst serene countryside surroundings, this church holds immense significance within British Christianity. It serves as a reminder of the deep-rooted tradition of charity that has been practiced for centuries. The print also pays homage to Henry de Blois, who played a crucial role in establishing these almshouses. His vision and philanthropy have left an indelible mark on Winchester's heritage. Preserved by L Newman from The Square in London, this historical artifact allows us to appreciate not only the architectural brilliance but also the cultural importance attached to such sacred spaces.
