Chichester Cathedral
Chichester Cathedral, The Royal Chantry, Cathedral Cloisters, Chichester, West Sussex, PO19 1PX .
For nearly 1000 years Chichester Cathedral has welcomed visitors through its doors.
The Cathedral's history begins in 681 when Saint Wilfred brought Christianity to Sussex and established a Cathedral in Selsey, a small community south of Chichester. After 1066 the Norman policy was that cathedrals should be moved from small communities to larger centres of population. In 1075 the Council of London established the See of Chichester and in 1076 the building of the present cathedral in Chichester was begun under Bishop Stigand. It was completed under Bishop Luffa in time for its consecration to the Holy Trinity in 1108.
Chichester Cathedral is also famous for its modern art which was commissioned mainly during the late 20th century.
