IN PICTURES: Chichester Cathedral. Early English Gothic on 11th Century Romanesque.
The south-west tower of Chichester Cathedral sits on the west front. It collapsed in 1210 due to local ground shifting and was rebuilt. It also features the vital step-free access point via the South West Door for visitors.
Another visit to Chichester Cathedral today having just finished A.S Duncan-Jones’ ebullient Story of Chichester Cathedral, published in 1933. Duncan-Jones, who was Dean of the Cathedral under the much-loved Bishop Bell, writes candidly and with pace about a building some 850 years old in his day. I was inspired to return, so I did.
