EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene and nurturing atmosphere of Gyde Orphanage in Painswick, Gloucestershire, circa 1920. The Gyde Orphanage was established in 1911 as a result of a generous legacy left by Edwin Francis Gyde, a local businessman and philanthropist. The orphanage was initially run by the Church of England and provided a loving home for children in need. The image shows the main building of the orphanage, surrounded by lush greenery and beautiful gardens. The children, dressed in their best clothes, are seen playing and laughing outside, creating a joyful scene. The orphanage was later taken over by the National Children's Home (NCH) in 1932, and continued to provide a safe and supportive environment for thousands of children over the decades. Edwin Francis Gyde's legacy had a profound impact on the lives of countless children, providing them with a sense of security and stability during difficult times. The Gyde Orphanage was a shining example of the power of philanthropy and community support, and its influence can still be felt in Painswick and beyond. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of caring for the most vulnerable members of our society and the positive impact that can be made through acts of kindness and generosity.
