1. Title: A Curious Easter Custom at All Hallows Church, Lombard Street, London, 1890: A Clergyman Dispenses Gifts to Pupils of Christ's Hospital School This evocative image captures a unique Easter tradition taking place at All Hallows Church, located on Lombard Street in the heart of London, in the year 1890. The scene depicts a clergyman, dressed in his ecclesiastical robes, standing before a group of 21 pupils from Christ's Hospital School. The boys, all dressed in their school uniforms, eagerly await the clergyman's approach as he holds out a small gift for each one. The significance of this curious custom lies in the historical connection between All Hallows Church and Christ's Hospital School. Founded in 1552 by King Edward VI, Christ's Hospital was established as an endowment "for the education, maintenance, and relief of the poorer sort of children." All Hallows Church, which dates back to the 13th century, has long been a vital part of the school's history. The church served as the school's chapel, and the relationship between the two institutions has remained strong throughout the centuries. During the Easter season, the clergyman of All Hallows Church would visit Christ's Hospital School to distribute small gifts to the pupils as a token of goodwill and celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This heartwarming tradition serves as a reminder of the deep-rooted connection between the school, the hospital, and the church, as well as the importance of community and charitable giving during the Easter season. This photograph, taken in April of 1890, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and sheds light on a curious custom that once brought joy and unity to the children of Christ's Hospital School and the congregation of All Hallows Church.
