MULTI-ACTIVITY AND FUN DAYS MUSEUMS
Museum of Army Chaplaincy
Amport House, Amport, Nr. Andover, Hampshire, U.K. SP11 8BG
The Museum of the Royal Army Chaplains' Department reopened in its new location
at Amport House in September 2001, after being in storage for over five years.
Previously it had been located at Bagshot Park, the home of Army Chaplains'
since 1946.
The Museum of Army Chaplaincy houses the archives and historical relics of RAChD
and it's chaplains, and unlike most military museums does not include any
weapons or ammunition, since the chaplains are non-combatant and their work is
to sustain not destroy.
The Museum displays cover six themes: Faith in Captivity; Celebrating the Faith;
Faith in service of Peace; Faith under Fire; Faith in Uniform and Teaching the
Faith.
Displays include poignant Far East POW items, Church silver and furnishings,
uniforms and the stories of the four chaplains who have been awarded the
Victoria Cross.
Hours - By appointment only. Mon - Fri. 09.00 - 17.00. (last Admission 16.30)
Admission Free
Contact - David Blake, Curator.
