EDITORS COMMENTS
Trinity Hospital, Taunton, Somerset: A Symmetrical Monument to the Past and the Provision of Care for the Poor This evocative photograph captures the historic Trinity Hospital in Taunton, Somerset, a former Union workhouse designed by renowned architect Sampson Kempthorne and erected between 1836 and 1838. The building's imposing yet symmetrical facade stands as a testament to the social and historical significance of this structure, which once served as a place of last resort for the impoverished and destitute. During the 1830s, the English Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834 led to the establishment of the Union workhouse system, which aimed to provide a deterrent to begging and vagrancy while offering a basic level of care for the indigent. Trinity Hospital in Taunton was one such institution, designed to house and care for the poor and needy of the community. The building's grand architecture, with its tall columns, intricate detailing, and expansive grounds, may seem at odds with its original purpose. However, this contrast underscores the complex and often contradictory nature of social welfare policies during this period. While the exterior conveyed a sense of order and respectability, the interior conditions were often harsh and inhumane, reflecting the prevailing attitudes towards poverty and the poor. Today, Trinity Hospital stands as a reminder of the past, a historical monument to the provision of care for the poor and the evolution of social welfare policies. Its symmetrical facade, a hallmark of Kempthorne's design, continues to inspire awe and admiration, offering a glimpse into the rich history of Taunton and Somerset.
