Explore the fascinating history of Chichester in this fully illustrated A-Z guide to the city's people and places.
Chichester is fortunate archaeologically, in having been so little disturbed in the 19th century. Evidence of Early Bronze-Age and Late Iron-Age occupation has been discovered, together with pre-Conquest amphorae, a massive defensive ditch of Cogidubnian date with traces of cattle and sheep stockades, granaries and iron-working hearths dating from the second to late fourth centuries. In eight volumes the author deals with all the excavations that have taken place and gazetteers the Romans, medieval and post-medieval discoveries.
A fascinating tour of Chichester's pub scene, charting the town's taverns, alehouses and watering holes, from past centuries to more recent times.
A guided tour of the historic town of Chichester, showing how the areas you know and love have transformed over the centuries.
Chichester is the archetypal Georgian town, with its streets of elegant buildings gathered closely around its ancient cathedral. It usually appears to today's first-time visitor that the city has been largely untouched by the hand of time--particularly the destructive hand that guided the 1960s. However, this is not the case: in the 1960s Chichester faced the same challenges as all historic towns, and much was lost--but the brakes were applied in good time and it became one of the first conservation areas in the country. This book, the first of its kind, looks at how the Chichester fared in that turbulent decade, how it gained in its status as a city of culture with a new theater and museum, and how it expanded to meet the demands of its growing populace. Historical research blends with personal anecdote to produce a heartfelt portrait of the decade.
