EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the interior of the chapel at Fegans Homes in Stony Stratford, circa 1910. Fegans Homes was an orphanage and children's welfare institution that provided care and education for hundreds of children in need. The image shows a group of young boys and girls, dressed in simple, uniform-like clothing, sitting attentively during a religious service. The chapel's warm, natural light filters in through the stained glass windows, casting a gentle glow over the children and creating an atmosphere of tranquility and hope. The history of Fegans Homes dates back to the late 19th century when it was founded by the Reverend Henry Fegan. The institution grew to become one of the largest and most respected children's charities in England, providing a safe and nurturing environment for thousands of orphans and vulnerable children. The children at Fegans Homes received not only food, shelter, and clothing but also education, vocational training, and emotional support. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the children at Fegans Homes during a time when the welfare of orphans and vulnerable children was a significant social concern. It serves as a reminder of the important role that charitable institutions like Fegans Homes played in shaping the lives of countless children and providing them with the care and support they needed to thrive. Today, the legacy of Fegans Homes continues through the work of modern-day children's charities and organizations that strive to make a positive difference in the lives of children in need.
