An almshouse (also known as a bede-house, poorhouse, or hospital) was charitable housing provided to people in a particular community, especially during the medieval era. They were often targeted at the poor of a locality, at those from certain forms of previous employment, or their widows, and at elderly people who could no longer pay rent, and are generally maintained by a charity or the trustees of a bequest (alms are, in the Christian tradition, money or services donated to support the poor and indigent). Almshouses were originally formed as extensions of the church system and were later adapted by local officials and authorities.

  • Une aumônerie, ou maison de l'aumône, ou tout simplement aumône, est un édifice abritant les services d'une charge ecclésiastique du même nom exercée par un aumônier ou le bâtiment d'une abbaye destiné à la distribution de l'aumône. Nombreuses à être implantées du XIIe au XVIIe siècle auprès des abbayes, des églises ou des fiefs laïques dans des bâtiments indépendants qui ont reçu d'autres fonctions par la suite, elles sont désormais installées entre les murs des institutions auprès desquelles les services de la charge ecclésiastique sont organisés (lycées, prisons, etc.). Des bâtiments disparus il subsiste des toponymes tels que des noms de rues ou de lieux-dits. (fr)
