After 1066 the N
orman policy w
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.

hichester Cathedral,
the ‘Mother C

Chichester.
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

uring your visit, we invite you
to reflect on this sacred spaceand the various stories it tellsthrough its chapels, artw
ork,tom

You are experiencing something
built to give a direct experienceof the divine to those w
hoentered. For those w
ho worship
here today, it still has that power.
Here is an opportunity to
experience something ancient
yet modern, to reflect on w
hatreally m
atters, and perhaps tolight a candle for som
