This year Chichester Cathedral celebrates 950 years. We have arranged an expertly guided tour of this magnificent building - its history and architectural features, as well as its art. The visit will provide a step into iconic moments of English history: the Roman market city of Chichester; King Henry VIII’s Dissolution of the Monasteries (1530s); the Civil War and siege of Chichester (1642). At Chichester Cathedral medieval stone carvings sit alongside world famous contemporary works of art from the likes of Graham Sutherland, Marc Chagall and Ursula Benker-Schirmer.
