Chichester Cathedral: An Historical Survey

Chichester Cathedral's changing fortunes are traced in this book, from the original foundation at Selsey through every period of its history right up to recent restoration. It offers a complete reassessment of its growth, development and adornment; of the wealth of its art, liturgy, music, books and archives; of its colourful personalities; and of the relationship between the cathedral and the city-and its occasional emergence on the national scene. The work of a distinguished team of scholars, eminent in their special fields and each with a particular knowledge of the cathedral. 150 illustrations
