To mark the 200th anniversary of Trinity Homes Almshouse in Brixton, photographer Jim Grover stepped inside to meet some of the current residents and delve into its history.

She and other volunteers started with the only individual whose name Morton recorded: John Voorhees, who died of tuberculosis in the Philadelphia Almshouse in 1846.

“As a historian of the 19th century, I know there is so much documentation available on these people who were in these marginalized positions,” from the records of state institutions such as the almshouse, Monteiro says.

The almshouse and chapel have been attributed to St Paul's Cathedral architect Sir Christopher Wren.

The Penn Museum was built on property that once adjoined the Blockley Almshouse, right between a potter’s field and Penn Medical School.
