Chichester
THIS densely illustrated history of Chichester gives a fascinating account of the varied and surprising events, personalities and wider developments that created the town of the present day. In a series of vivid historical snapshots, taking the reader through thousands of years of history, from prehistoric settlement, through the Roman and medieval periods, to the well-preserved modern city, it recalls the building of the castle and cathedral and the medieval layout of the town, which still survives. More recent developments are described too - hospitals, schools, churches, chapels, Victorian terraces, housing estates, the railway and modern roads, all of which make up the contemporary city. This book is illustrated with hundreds of photographs, maps and drawings from the author's collection and from the West Sussex Record Office, and will be essential reading for all Chichester residents, past and present.
Chichester in the 1960s
Chichester is the archetypal Georgian town, with streets of elegant buildings gathered closely around the 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 Chichester fared in that turbulent decade, how it gained its status as a city of culture with a new theatre 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.
Roman Chichester
A synthesis of his six volumes of excavations and of other work in and around Chichester is provided by this coherent account of the Roman town its formation, its development, its inhabitants and its decline.
Chichester Excavations
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.
