The century old farmhouse at Ticehurst, Sussex, which has been converted by the Brotherhood of St. Francis of Assisi into a refuge for young tramps. Tramps between the ages of fourteen and twenty three are provided with a change of clothing and, after they have been given some training, efforts are made to find jobs for them before they resign themselves to being regular " knights of the road".

The Century Old Farmhouse at Ticehurst - A Haven for Young Tramps Transformed into Hope
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In the heart of Sussex, a century-old farmhouse stands as a symbol of compassion and transformation. Once abandoned, it has been lovingly converted by the Brotherhood of St. Francis of Assisi into a refuge for young tramps in need. This remarkable sanctuary offers solace to those between the ages of fourteen and twenty-three who find themselves lost on life's winding road. Within its walls, these weary souls are provided with more than just shelter; they are given hope. The Brotherhood ensures that each resident receives new clothing and essential training to equip them for brighter futures. No longer resigned to being mere "knights of the road" efforts are made to secure employment opportunities that will guide them towards stability. Amongst this haven's many wonders lies an unexpected gem - a tiny chapel nestled within the kiln of the cast-house. Here, faith intertwines with resilience as crucifixes illuminate their path forward. In September 1933, captured by Sunday Pictorial's lens, this poignant image immortalizes both struggle and salvation. This photograph from Memory Lane Prints transports us back to an era where charity knew no bounds and religion offered solace amidst adversity. It serves as a reminder that even in times when homelessness seemed insurmountable, there were beacons like The Century Old Farmhouse at Ticehurst illuminating paths towards redemption for our vagrant youth.
