Shame! Dr. Franklin, too lame with Gout and the Stone to walk, was carried to the Convention of 1787 in a Sedan Chair. No one proposed he be sent to an Almshouse instead. A Republick written with the help of a disabled Man ought to keep its Promise of Liberty to the Rest.

A close up of one of the Hall’s Tudor fireplaces.
Until the 1580s, heat came from open hearths set in the floor.
This fireplace is one of four providing heat, light and possible cooking facilities for the almshouse in the Undercroft.

Here's a view of the fireplace - an unusual quadruple arrangement - two on one side, two on the opposite side with passageways between them.
We are not sure how the passageways worked but our best guess was to allow those working in the almshouse to pass between divided parts of the Undercroft.

Moreton Almshouses, Westerham, Kent - endowed by Miss Moreton, an Anglican sister of the Community of St John Baptist at Clewer, who paid £9000 (about £1.3m today) to build 12 almshouses and a cottage hospital. Grade II-listed. The charity still provides 17 homes in the district.

Unfortunately I could only peep into the cloisters at Browne’s Hospital, a 15th century almshouse established by wealthy merchant William Browne when I visited Stamford. Heres one of the doors in what looks to be a fascinating building.

Back to the small dramas of 1873. The word "murder" in the mortality schedule always catches my attention.
Here, Oliver Doland (the mortality schedule says Daland for some reason) was murdered by his roommate at the Westford Almshouse on December 14, 1873.

The Lord Leycester Hospital was open and we had a very happy visit there. Having administered an almshouse I was very pleased to visit.

Same element involved with angels of death in nursing, predators and abusers in special needs, misogynists creating mentoring and saviourism complexes. History of segregated orphanages and almshouse.
It's a form of emotional dimorphism that so many predatory ppl love being paternalistic and convincing themselves they're doing mentoring complexes.
Under eugenics though, ur supposed to clap ur hands at ppl being exploited and act like ur doing them a favor. Infantilize them. Treat them as if they will never be on the same level.
"I'm saving lives"
they utter to themselves as a form of overseer self soothing.
