Jeremy became involved with fundraising for the chapel and supervising its maintenance when he retired as registrar at Lancing College.

Plans are currently being made by the Friends to finish the west end by adding a dignified porch and to further develop the use of the Grade I listed building by members of the public.

The talk will be on Friday, January 12, at 12.30pm and will follow the museum’s usual Friday coffee morning.

Entrance is via Middle Street, Shoreham, members £2, non-members £3.
