Arundel Cathedral Location map Arundel, West Sussex A Victorian Gothic (Catholic) cathedral in the French style. Arundel was begun by Henry, 15th Duke of Norfolk, and completed in 1873. The Duke employed as his architect Joseph Hansom, inventor of the Hansom cab. While this might seem an odd chhoice, Hansom carried out his brief brilliantly, creating a soaring church faced with Bath stone.

Chichester Cathedral Location map Chichester, West Sussex In 1075 Chichester came to prominence with the transfer of the bishop's seat from Selsey, on the coast. The Norman work here is largely 12th century. In the 13th century the wooden roof of the nave was replaced with stone vaulting. A unique feature of Chichester is the freestanding bell tower. Take a close look at the spire. It is actually a Victorian restoration, and a very succesful one at that.
