Wayfarers Dole Hospital of St Cross and Almshouse of Noble Poverty.
Winchester, Hampshire, England 15th July 2009. The Hospital of St Cross and Almshouse of Noble Poverty. The term 'Hospital' has the same origin as 'hospitality' and for over 850 years St Cross has provided food and shelter to people in need. It has been home to the Master and Brethren of St Cross since medieval times and today visitors can still receive the Wayfarer's Dole (a small beaker of beer and a morsel of bread).
