Excerpt: "Almshouses were established(Submitted on September 8, 2023, by Stephen Palmer of Ascot, England.)from the 10th century in Britain, to provide a place of residence for poor, old and distressed people. They were sometimes called bede-houses, and the residents bedesmen or bedeswomen. Bede is the Anglo-Saxon word for prayer, and the almsmen and women were obliged to pray for the founder of the charity."
