After 1066 the N

as that cathedrals, then insm

all comm

unities, should be moved to larger centres of

population. In 1075 the See of Chichester w

as established inw

hat had been an important R

oman city.

The building of the present C

athedral was begun in 1076 under

Bishop Stigand and w

as completed under B

ishop Luffa in time for its

consecration to the Holy Trinity in 1108. In subsequent centuries

there has been much additional building.

The C

athedral is itself a work of art, but it

is also famous for its artistic treasures,

which span the centuries from

Norm

antim

es to our own. Each of these can help

us to see the world of faith – and our

world – through new

eyes.T

he building is used for a variety of events– concerts, recitals, exhibitions, dram

a –but they are not its prim

ary purpose. This

is a holy place, set apart for the service ofG

od, in which G

od is present in word and sacram

ent. Here

the daily round of worship is offered, as it has been for 900

years of more or less turbulent history, in praise of Jesus C

hrist.H

ere since the thirteenth century, pilgrims have com

e to prayat the shrine of the saintly B

ishop Richard.

People of all faiths, and none, are welcom

e to sit quietly, topray, to w

orship, to give thanks or to seek spiritual counsel.W

e pray that you will feel you belong here, and that you w

illexperience, through the holiness of this w

onderful place,som

ething of the love of God, and his peace w

hich passes ourunderstanding.T
