EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The New Hall, Christs Hospital" in 1828. Engraved by Thomas Hosmer Shepherd and published in London during the Nineteenth Century, this image captures the architectural beauty of the renowned educational institution. Christ's Hospital was established by King Edward VI in 1552 with the purpose of educating and providing for orphaned children. The school initially occupied monastery buildings on Newgate Street that were previously inhabited by the Grey Friars. Following the devastation caused by the Great Fire of London, Sir Christopher Wren reconstructed both the South front and Christ Church parish church, which served as a place of worship for Christ's Hospital. In 1825, John Shaw was entrusted with designing the magnificent Great Hall, depicted prominently in this engraving. Sadly, this grand structure met its demise when it was demolished in 1902 after Christ's Hospital relocated to Horsham. The image portrays an exquisite blend of Georgian and Gothic Revival architecture. The Tudor-style facade exudes a sense of history and tradition while reflecting its charitable foundation as a haven for those less fortunate. Towering butresses, pinnacles, and octagonal features add to its majestic allure. This photograph is not only a testament to London's rich history but also serves as a reminder of Christ's Hospital's enduring legacy as an esteemed educational institution rooted in philanthropy and religious values.
