Cartouche on the Almshouses at Trinity Green, Whitechapel (1695)




Cartouche on the Almshouses at Trinity Green, Whitechapel (1695)





Inscribed cartouche on the almshouses at Trinity Green, Whitechapel, which were founded through the benefaction of Captain Henry Mudd of Ratcliff (d. 1692) and built in 1695 by William Ogbourne, master carpenter, for the Corporation of Trinity House. The residents were '28 decayed masters and commanders of ships or the widows of such'. The almshouses are in two facing rows, one storey high, with basements, and a wooden block and bracketed eaves cornice. The end of each row of the almshouses terminates on Whitechapel Road with an elevation of two storeys in brick with stone dressings, rusticated angled stone quoins, a modillioned cornice and a central cartouche with an inscription (as seen here).











Cartouche with scarab




Cartouche with scarab





A cartouche amid the hieroglyphs on the sphinx statue by Cleopatra's Needle, including a scarab symbol.

I learned from The Code Book by Simon Singh that hieroglyphs represent sounds rather than concepts. It took Egyptologists bloomin' ages to work that out, which is why it took them such a long time to decipher them.

I like the word 'cartouche'.
