Jane Austen in Worthing – a talk by Susan Belton & David Clark

Rustington Heritage Association, Rustington

Towards the end of 1805, Jane Austen, aged 29 and as yet an unpublished novelist, visited Worthing for a month or two, staying at Stanford's Cottage on Warwick Street (now a Pizza Express). During that time, Jane became friends with Edward Ogle, the driving force behind Worthing’s transformation into a well-ordered seaside resort. In 1817, the year of her death, Jane Austen used Worthing as the background for her final, unfinished novel, “Sanditon”, one of whose main characters was based on Ogle. Susan Belton and David Clark from the Worthing Society present this talk exploring the links between “Sanditon” and Worthing in its early days.
Entry is free for paid-up members of Rustington Heritage Association. Visitors £5 (cash only) payable at the door. All admissions subject to availability of seats on arrival.

The Art Society Arun Monthly Talk - The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood : Artworld Rebels

The Arts Society Arun, Rustington

Our talk this month is by Sarah Ciacci - The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood : Artworld Rebels
The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood were a group of young artists who came together in 1848 to shake up an art world they considered stultified and untruthful, because artists were encouraged to copy only the Old Masters, especially the art of Raphael. So the Pre-Raphaelites looked for inspiration from artists that came before Raphael (hence Pre-Raphaelite) and looked for more truthful and honest subject-matter. Not only were they art world rebels, but they also produced works of art that enjoy great popularity today, which we will explore in this talk.
Doors open 9.30am. Everyone welcome. Guests £7 on the door. Coffee & biscuits available. Meetings are held on the third Tuesday of the month.
For more information, please email [email protected]

The Highdown Big Dig – a talk by James Sainsbury

Rustington Heritage Association, Rustington

In the summer of 2025, a major archaeological dig took place on Highdown Hill, near Ferring, as part of a joint project by Worthing Museum, the Worthing Archaeological Society, and the National Trust. Finds made at the dig made the site one of "national importance", according to James Sainsbury, curator of archaeology at Worthing Museum, who led the project. “The discovery of new graves makes returning for more excavations in 2026 critical,” he said. The Rustington Heritage Association is delighted to welcome James to its meeting on 24th September, when he will give an illustrated talk bringing us up to date on the finds.
Entry is free for paid-up members of Rustington Heritage Association. Visitors £5 (cash only) payable at the door. All admissions subject to availability of seats on arrival. Please note this is an evening meeting and we hope that those who are unable to attend our usual afternoon talks will be able to make it to this one.
