EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting Lyddington Bede House in Leicestershire, showcasing its stunning exterior view. Once serving as the medieval palace of the Bishops of Lincoln, this historic building underwent a transformation by 1600 and became an almshouse for those in need. The Almshouse was designed to provide shelter and support for twelve impoverished bedesmen over the age of 30, along with two women above the age of 45. However, it came with certain conditions - all residents had to be free from lunacy, leprosy, and the French pox. Steeped in history and nestled within a picturesque landscape, this site holds immense cultural significance. The remnants of its medieval past can still be felt through every stone and archway that adorn its structure. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era where compassion met architectural grandeur. The serene ambiance surrounding Lyddington Bede House is further enhanced by a quaint graveyard nearby – a reminder of lives once lived within these walls. Preserved meticulously by Historic England Photo Library, this photograph serves as a testament to our rich heritage. It invites us to appreciate not only the beauty captured within but also reflect on how society cared for those less fortunate centuries ago.
