Supporters’ Outings
In 2013 we visited the Cawley Almshouses and the Guildhall in April, and the Westgate area including St. Bartholomew’s Church in the autumn.
In 2014 we explored the Eastgate areas of The Litten, Jubilee Gardens, and St. John’s Chapel, all within sight of the walls. In the autumn last year we were given a guided tour of the former Graylingwell Hospital site.
In 2015 there were two Outings for Supporters, in the Spring and Autumn.
Each Outing is followed by refreshments.
Recent Trust Events
In September 2014 Chichester hosted the 24th annual European Walled Towns Symposium, a prestigious network of historic walled towns across the continent. Delegates from walled towns all over Europe attended this four day event, held in warm sunshine throughout. Walls Trustees led groups around the walls, and there were numerous talks about aspects of the walls’ recent restoration. Many visits were arranged to local places of interest – Goodwood House, Fishbourne Roman Palace, Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, Rolls Royce. Our Trustee, Anne Scicluna is on the Executive Committee of the EWT.
