Property History

In Chichester during the 16th Century the main commodities were wheat and malt for brewing and leather tanning. Stephen Hack inherited the leather merchants founded by his father and, in 1804 moved it into the Sadlers Warehouse building in Little London. A local architect Stanley Roth purchased the disused Mill in the early 1960's which he leased to the Council to open a new museum in 1964. The building remained as the Chichester District Museum until 2012 when it moved to the new Novium building in Tower Street.
