    This alms-house (low-income public housing they might say today?) was originally a chapel in Warwick, built in 1126 CE. It was used by trade guilds and then became an alms-house in 1571. It is still an alms-house today, almost 500 years later.

    It's also open to the public.

    Remember O thou man, an anonymous carol from Thomas #Ravenscroft's Melismata, 1611.
    Earlier versions of this song can be found in a number of #Scottish sources, including John Wedderburn's Compendious book of godlie psalmes and spirituall sangis, 1578.
