Ah, the first school trip I remember. Glad to hear it's not changed since.

Chichester was on our list of places to visit while we were in the UK last month, but we didn't go. Kicking myself now!

Ditto School trip comment, c1977. With your description not surprised it underwhelmed a 14yr old. (Did get A in latin o-level however 2 yrs later... so maybe more than met the eye)

Multiple school trips, me. Was going to do Bignor as well, but got bombed out of that one.
Cambridge latin syllabus, right? There is no other; even the Americans do it. Tired very quickly of Salvius, Grumio and that bleedin' bastard Anti-Loquax.

Just wanted to say, many thanks for directing people to a section of my Flickr photo-tour of Fishbourne. I hope it was useful! :)

One of the first school trips I remember too. All I really remember was the long journey (3 hours each way) there and back in a day and just how damn boring it was. It liked Latin, I didn't like coach journeys.

Quintus est in horto. I'll remember the Cambridge Latin Course books until the day I die.

I pass this most days on the way to work, but only got to visit a month or so back. Well worth it.

I too thought it looked like a Home Counties secondary school when I went there twenty five years ago. Good to see that little has changed and it has resisted the kiddie-friendly interactive trend.

I think the graphics at Fishbourne have survived because it is run by the independent charity Sussex Archaelogical Trust and not by English Heritage

The site has therefore has never been subject re-design, even though the Trust recently went for a new "corporate identity" and rebranded as "Sussex Past".

However, despite the "old fashioned" graphics they actually run an excellent education programme:
