The Hospital of St Cross and Alms House of Noble Poverty

Fine medieval buildings that have provided food and shelter for hundreds of years. The main activity of the Hospital is the provision of individual, private apartments for a living community of about twenty-five elderly men. Known as ‘Brothers’ they wear black or red gowns and a trencher hat for daily church and other formal occasions.

Open to the pubic (but not today!)
Nice shot, Jackie and one of my favourite haunts.

I've never met a 365er there, Jackie. You've made me wonder whether there are any special flower arrangements in the church from today and whether I should go and look tomorrow!
