St Cross Hospital

This is the chapel of St Cross. St Cross is not just a church, it is an almshouse (England's oldest) and houses 25 'brothers'. You can apply to become one and come to live here if you like. Criteria = male, over 60, single, no longer employed, low income. Interested? Click here

  1. This would be an interesting place to live but sadly I do not qualify. I would though be happy to be a brother and wear the rather natty outfit.

  2. I don't meet a single part of the criteria, wonder if they get to choose between the black or the claret outfits!?

  3. Looks a bit creepy. Think I'll pass...

    Not that I meet the criteria anyway!

  4. Looks like the setting for a haunted house movie to me! Maybe I watch too many scary movies.

  6. Can I just come and visit? I don't qualify to live there based on any of the criteria except being a male.
    Bon weekend

  8. An interesting arrangement. Almshouse sounds like it should be something of the distant past.
