pHICHESTER CATHEDRAL in  

Sussex is renowned for its 3elJ Tower,  

massive work of Perpendj|^lar style,  

and the only existing English "example of  

detached bell-tower. It was built in  

the 14th century to relieve th load on the  

central tower, where the peat jf bells was  

first housed. The earliest the bells  

dates from 1583, and carcj seen by  

climbing the .120 ft. tower, Iron, which an  

extensive view of the city and surround-  

ings is obtainable.  

The cathedral, which dates from the  

11th century, stands at the point where  

Chichester's four principal streets meet  

at right-angles, just as they have done  

ever since the city, then known as  

Regnum. was laid out by the Romans  

nearly 2000 years ago. Ihroughout the  

Roman occupation it was one of the  

principal military and trading centres in  

Britain; and there in the fifth century  

the Saxon invaders came sailing up the  

nearby creeks, stormed the city and  

renamed it after Cissa, one of the leaders  

of the invasion.  

In its first century the cathedral was  

more than once badly damaged by fire.  

It also sustained damage during the  

Reformation and during the Civil War,  

but it still possesses the same charm that  

characterises the city as whole, and it  

displays several features of unusual  

interest. It is also the only cathedral with  

modern corbels (on the south side),  

representing 20th-century clerics, and  

with King George in their midst. The  

interior contains some remarkable  

Romanesque sculpture. To the south  

of the cathedral are the cloisters, the  

Bishop’s Palace and the secluded lawns  

and precincts, above which the towers  

and spire of the great church rise to form  

striking architectural group.  

Throughout the Middle Ages the  

cathedral attracted many pilgrims, who  

came from all parts to visit the shrine of  

St. Richard, 13th-century bishop whose  

humble life and strength of character  

were in many ways reminiscent of St.  

Francis of Assisi. His healing powers  

were known far and wide, and though  

700 years have passed, his fame still  

attracts pilgrims to the great church  

where he presided and where he is  

commemorated.  

For the lover of Georgian architecture  

there can be few towns as delightful to  

wander in as Chichester. Many of the  

streets have remained virtually  

unchanged since the 18th century, and  

even the modern buildings, such as the  

new County Hall, blend harmoniously  

into the general picture of this perfect  

English cathedral-city.
