EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken in 1909, we see three bedeswomen of Castle Rising, a small village near Sandringham in Norfolk, England, making their way to church on a Sunday. The elderly women, dressed in old Welsh costumes, are residents of Trinity Hospital, a charitable almshouse founded by the Howard family in 1614. The women's distinctive attire includes a red cloak and a black pointed hat, which they are required to wear during church services as part of the hospital's long-standing tradition. The Howard family, one of the most prominent and influential families in British history, established Trinity Hospital as a benevolent institution to provide care and support for the elderly and retired villagers of Castle Rising. The women in the photograph proudly wear the Howard badge on their cloaks, a symbol of their connection to the charitable organization and the community it serves. The tradition of wearing Welsh costumes during church services dates back to the founding of the hospital over 400 years ago. The custom, which is unique to Castle Rising, is a testament to the rich history and strong sense of community that has endured in this small Norfolk village. The red cloaks and black pointed hats worn by the bedeswomen are not only a striking visual representation of the past but also serve as a reminder of the importance of charitable giving and the role it plays in supporting vulnerable members of society. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, capturing the essence of tradition, history, and community spirit that continues to thrive in the UK today.
