Event Short Description

Free exhibition which tells the story behind Slindon’s connection with many medieval Archbishops.

Event Information

Slindon has always been famous for its close links with Canterbury, ever since several parishes including Slindon, were granted to the then Archbishop of Canterbury in 686. For nearly 900 years until the Manor was handed back to Henry V111 at the time of the Reformation, many Archbishops came to stay at their residence in Slindon. Who came to stay and what do we know about them?

Local historian Andrew Foster has been researching this very subject and will be revealing the notable and infamous characters who enjoyed the view across the deer park to the sea. Andrew gave a talk in March at the launch which can be viewed on St Mary’s Church website www.stmarysslindon.co.uk
The exhibition includes: drawing, art and manuscripts from Chichester Cathedral and Lambeth Palace. This exhibition arranged by Slindon History Society is taking place in conjunction with Chichester Cathedral’s 950th anniversary year in 2025.
