Titchfield Abbey with David Moore-Kelly
Behind the remains of a Tudor Palace the remains of the early 13th Century Titchfield Abbey. The talk explores the story its construction to assuage the guilt of battle and appease the nostrums of the Norman hierarchy and tells the story of the Premonstratensian Canons who inhabited prior to the Abbeys dissolution by Henry VIII.

THE EARLY HISTORY OF WALTHAM told in posters
by Tony Kippenberger
Bishop’s Waltham’s long history is showcased in a unique series of outdoor storyboards.
The 10,000 year timeline covers the Stone Age to the destruction of the Bishop’s Palace during the Civil War, and as a public exhibition it delivers a fascinating picture of the small market town in bite-sized portions.
You can buy your own copy of all the posters of The Early History of Bishops Waltham for £5 at Sweet Corner, Studio 4, and the Museum as well as at our monthly meetings at the Catholic Church Hall in Martin Street.
