EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures "The Chamber in Lambeth Palace In Which the Lollards Were Confined" during the late 19th century. The Lollards Tower, dating back to the 15th century, served as a prison in the 17th century. Located in south London, Lambeth Palace has been the official residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury since its acquisition by the archbishopric in 1200. The image showcases an interior view of this historic chamber, offering a glimpse into its somber past. The monochrome tones add to its atmospheric quality, evoking a sense of mystery and intrigue. This photograph was originally featured in Edward Walford's publication titled "Old and New London: A Narrative of Its History, Its People, And Its Places". In this scene, one can imagine what life must have been like for those confined within these walls centuries ago. The room's sparse furnishings suggest that it was not intended for comfort but rather as a place of penitentiary or punishment. As we observe this snapshot from history, it serves as a reminder of how our society has evolved over time. It prompts us to reflect on issues such as crime and law enforcement while appreciating the architectural heritage preserved within Lambeth Palace.
