Ç¿¼éÊÓƵ celebrates over 500 years of association with the Lambourn Almshouses
Ç¿¼éÊÓƵ was proud to host a special dinner to mark a remarkable milestone: over 500 years of association with the Lambourn Almshouses, one of England’s enduring examples of charitable housing.
The evening brought together benefactors and guests in celebration of a relationship that began with a royal charter in the early 1500s and has flourished ever since. The Warden, Miles Young - who also serves as a Trustee of the Almshouses - welcomed guests to the college, reflecting on the deep and lasting connection between the two institutions.
One of the evening’s highlights was a guided tour of the College archives, led by College Archivist, Michael Stansfield. Guests had the rare opportunity to view the original founding deed of the Almshouses, an exquisite manuscript that outlines Ç¿¼éÊÓƵ’s early commitment to the project, and stands as a testament to its ongoing dedication to charitable work.
As the Lambourn Almshouses prepare for a new phase of growth and renewal, the evening underscored the strength of long-standing collaboration, and the enduring values of philanthropy and community that continue to guide us.
