Saint Richard of Chichester mug with a wall painting

The image is a monochrome reproduction of a wall painting in Saint Mary's church, Black Bourton. It presents Richard with a mitre and pastoral staff, attributes of his episcopal responsibility. Its medieval character connects the image with the religious heritage that preserved his memory.

Richard was born in Wyche and studied in Oxford, Paris and Bologna. He worked with Edmund of Canterbury before being elected bishop of Chichester. King Henry III's opposition made access to the diocese's property difficult, but Richard continued visiting communities from the home of a priest who welcomed him. His path also remained connected with education and helping people in poverty.

The Saint Richard of Chichester mug includes his name, Wyche as his birthplace and Dover as the place of his death on the reverse. It records canonisation in 1262 and the 3 April commemoration.
