Museum of Army Chaplaincy
The Royal Army Chaplain’s Department (RAChD) was formed in 1796 to aid the recruitment of clergy serving with the army. However, this isn’t the beginning of the story as priests have served with the military for hundreds of years. This fascinating tale of holy men and women serving alongside soldiers on active service is brought to life at the Museum of Army Chaplaincy.
Situated in the beautiful village of Amport, not far from the historic town of Andover, is ‘Amport House’ – the current home of military chaplaincy. It is here that you will find the museum of the Royal Army Chaplain’s Department.
Housed in a purpose-built conversion you will discover a unique collection dedicated to the work of Army Chaplains throughout history in peacetime, under fire and in captivity. There is also an opportunity to find out more about the four chaplains who have been awarded the Victoria Cross!
