church of the See also:Holy Trinity was founded towards the See also:close of the nth See also:century, after the see had been removed to Chichester from Selsey in 1075. The first church was consecrated in 1108, but fires in 1114 and 1187 caused See also:building to continue steadily until the close of the 13th century. See also:Bishop See also:Ralph Luffa (1091—1123) was the first See also:great builder, and was followed by Seff rid II. (1180-1204). See also:Norman See also:work appears in the See also:nave (See also:arcade and See also:triforium), See also:choir (arcade) and elsewhere; but there is much very beautiful See also:Early English work, the choir above the arcade and the eastern See also:part being especially See also:fine. The nave is remarkable in having See also:double aisles on each See also:side, the See also:outer pair being of the 13th century. The church is also unique among English cathedrals in the See also:possession of a detached campanile, a massive and beautiful Perpendicular structure with the See also:top See also:storey octagonal. The See also:principal See also:modern restorations are the upper part of the See also:north-See also:west See also:tower, which copies the Early English work of that on the south-west; and the fine central tower and See also:spire, which had been erected at different periods in the 14th century, but See also:col-

The See also:Lady See also:chapel at the See also:east end is in the See also:main early Decorated, but greatly restored; the library is a fine See also:late Norman vaulted See also:room; the cloisters are Perpendicular and well restored; and the bishop's See also:palace retains an Early English chapel. The cathedral is 393 ft. See also:long within, 131 ft. across the transepts, and 90 ft. across the nave with its double aisles. The height of the spire is 277 ft.
At the junction of the four main streets of the See also:town stands the See also:market See also:cross, an exquisite octagonal structure in ornate Perpendicular See also:style, built by Bishop See also:Story, c. Isoo, perhaps the finest of its See also:kind in the See also:United See also:Kingdom. The See also:hospital of St See also:Mary was founded in the 12th century, but the existing buildings are in a style transitional from Early English to Decorated. Its use as an See also:almshouse is maintained. Other See also:ancient buildings are the churches of St Olave, in the construction of which See also:Roman materials were used; and of St See also:Andrew, where is the See also:tomb of the poet See also:- WILLIAM

The city retains a great part of its ancient walls, which have a See also:circuit of about a mile and a See also:half, and, at least in part, follow the See also:line of Roman fortifications. The principal modern buildings, besides churches and chapels, are the See also:council See also:house, See also:corn See also:exchange, market house, and museum of the Chichester See also:Literary Society. The See also:grammar school was founded in 1497 by Bishop Story. There is a large See also:cattle market, and the town has a considerable agricultural See also:trade, with breweries and tanneries. A See also:canal connects with Chichester Harbour. The See also:diocese includes the whole See also:county of Sussex except a few parishes, with very small portions of See also:Kent and See also:Surrey. The municipal borough is under a See also:mayor, six aldermen and eighteen councillors. See also:Area, 1538 acres.
The Romano-See also:British town on this site was perhaps Regnum or Regni. Many See also:inscriptions, pottery, coins, &c., have been found, and part of the See also:medieval walls contain a Roman See also:cave. An interesting inscription from this site is preserved at See also:Goodwood. Situated on one Roman road in See also:direct connexion with London and another leading from east to west, Chichester (Cissaceaster, Cicestre) remained of considerable importance under the South Saxon See also:kings.
