Stewardship & Service

About The Manor of Eastbourne Medsey

In the spirit of noblesse oblige

 

Historic manors once represented authority, property and responsibility within a particular community. Those structures have long since disappeared in, almost, every surviving manor. 


Modern possession of the Lordship of Eastbourne Medsey carries neither governmental authority nor ownership of the historic manorial lands. Neither does the present Lord claim or exercise any manorial rights which may once have existed. Instead, he has therefore sought to interpret stewardship in a different way: through the preservation of the Manor’s history and through support for organisations serving the locality and wider community.


Among causes supported have been organisations associated with Eastbourne, especially those to be found in the area of the old Manorial lands, and its historic landscape, including:


  • Meads Hall
  • Beachy Head Chaplaincy
  • Eastbourne Foodbank
  • RNLI Eastbourne


Support for these organisations does not imply any special jurisdiction or authority within the former Manor. Rather, it reflects a voluntary commitment to the community with which Eastbourne Medsey has been historically associated.


The present Lord’s wider charitable interests, particularly in the care and support of disabled and vulnerable children and young people, form part of the same understanding of service.


He invites you to also support these worthy causes directly via the links below. However, please do not send any donations directly to us - we do not solicit donations for ourselves.
