🏞️ One of the nation's favourite paintings?

In 2014, Carrington's 'Farm at Watendlath' came second only to a David Hockney in a public vote on the most popular works in British museums.

She painted the work in 1921, the same year as she married Ralph Partridge to secure her 'triangular trinity of happiness' with Partridge and Lytton Strachey. Lytton loved Partridge, Partridge loved Carrington and Carrington loved Lytton.

There is a sense of mystery and foreboding in the painting, perhaps reflecting the emotional turmoil of her relationships at the time. While on holiday in Cumbria with Partridge, Carrington began an affair with her friend, the writer Gerald Brennan. She paints the farm where they all stayed under dramatic, brooding hills that dwarf the little figures in the foreground.

See 'Farm at Watendlath' in our exhibition Dora Carrington: Beyond Bloomsbury until 27 April 2025. Explore the fascinating story of her work and life with the curators as they guide you through the show with our audio tour on the Bloomberg Connects app.

🚂 The Selsey Tramway 🚂

Discover the captivating yet ill-fated story of the Selsey Tramway! This fascinating display follows the ambitious vision to connect the village of Selsey with Chichester, and how, by August 1897, the Selsey Tramway came to life under The Hundred of Manhood and Selsey Tramway Company.

Spanning seven-and-a-half miles with 11 stops, the line linked the rural villages of the Manhood Peninsula, stopping at Chichester, Hunston, Sidlesham, Selsey, as well as private farms and Selsey Golf Club. The grand opening on August 27, 1897, drew eager crowds—but the excitement was quickly dampened when the first train arrived an hour late. Delays and breakdowns soon became the tramway’s hallmark, leading it to be remembered as perhaps the most problematic railway in the area.

After nearly four decades, the Selsey Tramway’s final journey took place on January 19, 1935. Visit our exhibition, open now, to explore this unique chapter in local history.

Entry is free, with donations welcome. Find out more: https://buff.ly/3AN33qE

Here's a ringing endorsement and a good read about our Cathedral's unique Bell Tower. 😊🔔🔔

🔔 Bellringing is an ancient tradition, with the earliest reference to bells being rung at Chichester in 1232, with our current Bell Tower built around the year 1400, with the oldest of the existing bells dating back to 1587.

Today we give thanks to our band of bellringers during a special service of Choral Mattins.

If you're interested in trying your hand at the art of bellringing, visit our website to find out more: https://loom.ly/hM-f0XA
