  • Arlington Court harbours a fleet of wonderful vessels

    The collection contains a flotilla of ship models from the very small to the very grand.

  • A passion for pewter

    One of the finest collections in public hands in Europe, our pewter ranges from the pretty to the practical.

  • 800 years of devotion

    Generations of the Chichetser family have doubtless loved and studied this Flemish psalter from the fourteenth century.

  • Blake's unique Vision

    Re-discovered after over 100 years on top of a cupboard, the Arlington Blake now delights thousands of visitors every year.

  • Flights of fancy

    Miss Chichester was passionate about all creatures great and small. The modern estate reflects this with Jacob sheep, Red Devon Cattle and Shetland ponies. The collection reflects her fascination with nature in every form.
