. This lithograph, created by Joseph Holland Tringham in 1899, captures a significant event that marked the centenary celebration of savings banks. The image showcases the foundation stone-laying ceremony at Ruthwell Parish Church, where the construction of a new savings bank building was initiated. In this remarkable scene, we witness dignitaries and royalty gathered to commemorate the origins and achievements of savings banks.

His visionary idea has transformed countless lives by providing accessible avenues for people from all walks of life to save money securely.
