As winter approaches we are making plans at the Museum for events, activities and displays that will keep our visitors coming through the doors.

There will be a new painting on display at the Museum in December, on loan from Littlehampton Museum. Painted by an unknown artist, it is a view of a Rustington Mill, probably ‘The Post Mill’, that stood on the corner of Sea Lane and Sea Road until it was removed in 1913.

A long awaited Exhibition on Sir Hubert Parry, Composer of the well-known hymn ‘Jerusalem’ as well as many of the hymns played at the Royal Wedding this year, will open at the Museum in January 2012. Parry lived at Knightscroft House in Sea Lane from 1880 until his death in 1918 and was the subject of a documentary on BBC4 presented by HRH The Prince of Wales in May this year.
