How to apply to become a resident at St Mary's
St Mary's has 39 almshouses and vacancies are only rarely available. Since the beginning of 2023 only one almshouse has become available to let. For this reason we will not be considering any new applications until the Spring of 2025.
Prospective applicants who wish to apply for residence are welcome to so but must appreciate that they will not be considered until the Spring of 2025, at the earliest.
To be eligible for residency applicants must:
- Be of limited financial means.
- Be in sufficiently good health to cook and housekeep for themselves.
- Be of good character.
- Have resided for the five years preceding their application in an ecclesiastical parish in the Diocese of Chichester, any part of which is within 15 miles of the Cathedral Church of Chichester.
- Be in sympathy with the religion of the Church of England.
