EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Chulkhurst Twins, also known as Elis(z)a and Mary Chulkhurst, who were famously referred to as the Biddenden Maids. These Siamese twins were joined at both the shoulder and hip, a rare and remarkable phenomenon that captured the attention of many during their time in 1100s Kent.
What sets these twins apart is not only their physical connection but also their extraordinary act of generosity towards those less fortunate. In an act of immense kindness, they left land in their will to provide for the poor through what became known as the Biddenden dole - a charitable tradition that continues to this day.
The historical significance of this image cannot be understated, shedding light on a unique chapter in human history filled with oddities and paranormal intrigue. The legacy of Elis(z)a and Mary Chulkhurst lives on through their selfless bequest, serving as a reminder of the power of compassion and unity even in times when differences may seem insurmountable.
As we gaze upon this print from Mary Evans Picture Library, we are reminded not only of the fascinating story behind these extraordinary twins but also of the enduring impact they had on those around them. Their memory serves as a testament to resilience, charity, and above all else - humanity.
