Representatives from Soulton Hall are attending a service at Lichfield Cathedral, marked by a visit from the Archbishop of Canterbury.
The service brings together figures from across the region to welcome the Archbishop to the diocese. Soulton Hall retains a distinctive stakeholder role in church and diocesan settings. This stems from a centuries-long history of preserving regional heritage, active involvement in shared ecclesiastical traditions, and deep ties to Tudor history.
In particular, Soulton stands as the ancestral home associated with Sir Rowland Hill, a prominent figure in the publication of the Geneva Bible who provided refuge and protection to Matthew Parker—later Archbishop of Canterbury—during the 1550s.
Attendance at the cathedral forms part of Soulton Hall’s needful ongoing engagement with civic, cultural, and ecclesiastical activity across the region.
