Day 068/21. The Alms Houses and Church of St Cross

The Hospital of St Cross and Almshouse of Noble Poverty is a medieval almshouse in Winchester, Hampshire, England. It has been described as "England's oldest and most perfect almshouse"
The 12th-century and 13th-century church in the south-east corner is more like a miniature cathedral than a typical almshouse chapel. The walls are over a metre thick, made from stone from Caen, Dorset, and the Isle of Wight as well as local flint. The roof is lead. The building is in Transitional Norman/Gothic style. Building work started in the year 1135.
Looking good in the sun today.
