- Re: Let us not forget those without this christmas
“Much labour had been expended on the dining-hall, which was indeed gaily and tastefully ornamented. Over the fireplace appeared the text , in bold legible characters, “Rejoice, for behold He bringeth glad tidings”, while above the doorway at the opposite end could be read “Born this day the Prince of Peace”. Drooping from the cornices all round were neat festoons of evergreens and many devices of an ornamental nature were to be observed along the walls. This was the work of the Master (Mr Brandon) and several assistants”. The Luton Reporter continues “A number of ladies and gentlemen usually visit the House about mid-day and lend a hand in serving the poor people with their Christmas dinner”. “A very substantial dinner was served, consisting of roast beef, potatoes and gravy, with a glass of beer, after which there was plum pudding ad lib. An orange was also given to each person, and the men, or at least those who wished it, received in addition a piece of tobacco and the women a small quantity of snuff”.
