Welcome to Chichester Cathedral
For 900 years Chichester Cathedral has welcomed visitors through its doors – worshippers, seekers, tourists, people of all faiths and none. 

Through this website, we are able to share the Cathedral with everyone, including those who may never be able to visit Chichester in person, but who, through technology, will be able to see the building in all its beauty.   

2008 is an important year for Chichester Cathedral.  This year, it is exactly 900 years since this glorious Cathedral was consecrated and set apart as a sacred space.  During 2008, we are also remembering Chichester's Bishop George Bell, 1883-1958, who died 50 years ago and is famous worldwide for his life's work.  We have many special events planned to celebrate these two unique anniversaries and we warmly invite you to join us.

Whoever and wherever you may be, welcome to Chichester Cathedral. 

Nicholas Frayling
Dean of Chichester
