We would like to share with you some of the interesting articles and stories about our member charities and news about the almshouse movement today in our posts below.
The historical aspect of almshouse charities and the legacy of their benefactors are considerable so it is hardly surprising that they are able to present a wide variety of stories and anecdotes ranging from their inception to the present day. There are cases where residents dress in the unusual âuniformâ which is unique to their charity and others where splendid architectural features have been unearthed and restored.
The titles of many almshouses have wonderful names: The Eight Men of Broadclyst, The Sisters of Castle Rising and Twittyâs Almshouses, to name a few. Aside from their titles and history, however, the common factor shared amongst all almshouses is that today they continue to provide comfortable and secure homes for those in need, in friendly communities – something they have done for centuries.
