Arthur Bowman Died Founder Gregory Principal Retired Stephenson Succeeded Suddenly Childrens
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the National Children's Home (NCH) in Woking, Surrey, England, during the early 1900s. The National Children's Home was a charitable organization founded in 1881 by Thomas Bowman Stephenson to provide a safe and nurturing environment for orphaned, abandoned, and destitute children. In this image, we see the institution's main building, which served as the principal residence and administrative headquarters. At the helm of the National Children's Home during this period was the Reverend Arthur E. Gregory, who succeeded its founder Thomas Bowman Stephenson upon his retirement in 1900. Gregory's tenure as Principal was tragically short-lived, as he passed away suddenly in 1912. The Reverend Gregory is remembered for his dedication to the children in his care and his commitment to the organization's mission. The photograph reveals a bustling scene of activity, with children playing in the yard, laundry hanging out to dry, and staff members tending to various tasks. The serene surroundings, with their lush greenery and picturesque architecture, offer a glimpse into the daily life of the National Children's Home during this era. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the vital role that charitable organizations like the NCH played in providing care and support for vulnerable children in the early 20th century.
