 the Diocese of Chichester\, spanning East and West Sussex. Each object rev
 eals remarkable moments and people from history.\n\nHighlights include:\n-

 a simple wooden cross fashioned from duck board by a WWI soldier in the tr
 enches.\n- A pocket-sized Bible donated by the Sussex Regiment\, containin
 g a pressed flower from Macedonia\, where its owner served on the front li
 ne.\n- The inspiring story of a group of wealthy and well-connected women 
 who defied societal norms to help establish the first Anglican sisterhood\
 , The Society of St Margaret\, in 1854. Read their journals to explore how
  their tireless work brought lifesaving care to the sick and destitute in 
 East Grinstead and beyond.\n- Meeting Reginald Peacock\, a Bishop of Chich
 ester and the first theologian to write in English—a bold act that ultim
 ately led to his condemnation as a heretic.\n\nThese and many other fascin

 istories and to reflect on the enduring role of faith during times of hard
 ship and change. \n\nReligion\, Rebellion & Reformation has been curated b
