Heritage Open Day: Join us to uncover the people, places, and moments that have shaped Rowlands Castle through the centuries. What secrets lie beneath the trees, behind familiar buildings, and along the quiet lanes of Rowlands Castle? From the remains of a Norman castle built almost a thousand years ago to the exploits of smugglers weaving through the surrounding woodland, our village is full of remarkable stories. Generations of local people have shaped its history through their trades, and sense of community, while organisations such as the Women's Institute, local churches, and brickworks helped build a community for over a century. Learn how Rowlands Castle played its part in one of history's greatest moments as troops gathered here before embarking for the D-Day landings.
