CHICHESTER CATHEDRAL
To the Romans the city of Chichester was Noviomagus; to the Saxons it became the camp of Cissa. Bishop Ralph de Luffa founded the cathedral during the twelfth century. In 1186 it was damaged by fire; in 1199 the rebuilding was consecrated by Bishop Seifrid. The east end was enlarged during the thirteenth century; the Chapter House and the great window in the south transept were added by Bishop Langton during the fourteenth century.
In 1861 the spire on the central tower collapsed and was restored by Sir Gilbert Scott, to a height of 277 feet. Chichester is the only English cathedral with a detached bell tower (two of its eight bells were cast by John Wallis at Salisbury in 1583 and 1587). The north transept contains memorials to two composers, Thomas Weelkes (1625) and Gustav Hoist (1924). Defoe thought that the approach to Chichester Cathedral was
the most pleasant beautiful country in England'.
