EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic beauty and solemnity of The Orphanage in Stony Stratford, Buckinghamshire, a place once dedicated to providing care and education for children in need. The image showcases the impressive chapel and surrounding buildings of Mr Fegan's Orphanage and Training Home, which opened its doors in 1900 under the visionary leadership of its founder, James Fegan. The chapel, with its tall, pointed arches and intricately designed stained glass windows, stands proudly at the heart of the complex, symbolizing hope and spiritual guidance for the children who resided there. The other buildings, including the main house and various cottages, are arranged around the chapel, creating a sense of community and belonging. The Orphanage and Training Home was established to provide a safe and nurturing environment for children who had been orphaned, abandoned, or otherwise in need of care. James Fegan, a philanthropist and businessman, dedicated his life to improving the lives of these children, ensuring they received an education and the opportunity to learn valuable skills to help them become self-sufficient adults. The history of The Orphanage is a testament to the power of compassion and the importance of providing a supportive environment for those in need. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to reflect on the stories of the children who once called this place home and the impact it had on their lives.
