Chichester Cathedral and Arundel Castle
Holiday with a religious connection - West Sussex Days 3 and 4: Chichester Cathedral and Arundel Castle. On the first wet day we visited Chichester Cathedral. Day 3: Chichester – cathedral and city centre On Monday 11th April, the third day of our visit to West Sussex, the day was wet, so we chose an indoor venue - Chichester Cathedral. Founded as a cathedral in 1075, the building was completed in 1108. Much of the Norman stonework, arcading and the timber-roofed nave were destroyed by fire in 1187 and were rebuilt and extended in Early English style in the 13th century. The amazing organ pipes at Chichester Cathedral. ‘Speaking in Tongues’ by Paul Benney, in the Cathedral’s North Transept. Benney has depicted the apostles as people who are known to him - friends and contemporaries. An exhibition of church plate in the Treasury at Chichester Cathedral. In 1976 the vault of the Early English style Chapel of the Four Virgins was converted into the Treasury in order to display the Cathedral and diocesan church plate. The Marc Chagall window at Chichester Cathedral. The window is inspired by Psalm 150, which urges its readers to 'let everything that hath breath praise the Lord'. The window encompasses aspects of the Anglican and Chagall's own Jewish faith. The window was unveiled by the Duchess of Kent in 1978. The beautiful font at Chichester Cathedral by John Skelton (1923-1999) 16th century paintings by Lambert Barnard showing representations of the Bishops of Chichester. The modern day shrine of St Richard of Gloucester contains an altar that was designed by Robert Potter, a tapestry designed by Ursula Benker-Schirmer and an icon designed by Sergei Fyodorov that shows St Richard in episcopal vestments.

Over 900 Years of History – a Brief History
Amberley Castle Over 900 Years of History in Brief Amberley Castle c1380 The land where Amberley Castle stands was gifted to Bishop Wilfrid in 683 AD by Caedwalla, King of Wessex. In the Domesday Book it was recorded Amberley had 17 villagers and 25 smallholders at this time. The land then became the property of the Bishop of Chichester. The current buildings have their origins in a timber-framed hunting lodge built by Bishop Luffa of Chichester in 1103. Bishop Luffa also had the parish church built next door. In 1140, the timber-framed building was knocked down by Bishop Seffrid I, to make way for a more elaborate stone hall. The first building here was the small hall and its Norman entrance can still be seen in reception the entrance to the Great Room. In approximately 1200, Bishop Seffrid II had the East Wing built. A larger Great Hall and other domestic improvements were added by Bishop John of Langton during his time at Chichester between 1305 and 1337. It was at this time it became known as “Bishop of Chichester’s Summer Palace”. When Bishop Reede took the throne at Chichester, he had the Great Hall knocked down and built a grander one! In 1377, Bishop Reede applied to King Richard II for permission to crenellate the grounds and add the gatehouse and Oubliette – to ward off pirates! Many believe it was more to show off! Permission was granted for this on 10th December 1377, and during 1377 and 1382 the work took place. The crenellations, battlements and a portcullis transformed it into a fortified manor house.

FC Series of Archives
ARUNDEL CASTLE ARCHIVES Vol IV A CATALOGUE Edited by Francis W Steer Preface Unlike its predecessors, this fourth volume of the catalogue of the archives at Arundel Castle will have to remain in manuscript until either printing costs are reduced or a new and economical process of reproduction is invented. This situation is a matter for regret on two counts as it spoils a series of printed books which have been of assistance to scholars all over the world and it is going to make the definitive edition of the catalogue of this vast collection of archives more difficult for someone to compile in the future. This volume, so far as manuscript permits, follows the style of the other three. It contains (pp1-65) a vast accumulation of records (mainly drafts although some are of special interest and importance) which Messrs Few & Co. (solicitors to the Dukes of Norfolk since 1815) must have transferred to Norfolk House, St James‟s Square, London, over 90 years ago. The documents are in excess of 9,200 and demonstrate, in particular, the litigious character of Bernard Edward, 12th Duke of Norfolk (1765-1842) and the immense amount of work which accrued to his solicitors; they also show the policy with regard to the dispersal and/or consolidation of estates – sometimes to pay off enormous mortgages and at other times to simplify that difficult administration of what was a huge and scattered estate extending into several counties. The catalogue (1965) of the Arundel documents deposited at Sheffield City Library should not be forgotten by students concerned with properties in Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.

The Spiral Stair or Vice: its origins, role and meaning in medieval stone castles. Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Charles Ryder February 2011 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS For all their help and support, I wish to record my warmest thanks to the staff of the British Library, John Ryland‟s Library, the University of Liverpool and especially the staff of the University of Chester; to the owners of structures with spiral stairs who opened their doors to me, especially the de Vere family at Hedingham Castle and Mr Louis de Wett and Ms Gabrielle Drake at Much Wenlock Priory; to the custodians and managers of historical sites and in particular the lady who gave me a private tour of Charlemagne‟s Chapel, Aachen whose name I never knew and Mr N Fahy at Castle Rising; to a number of members of the Castle Studies Group, the M6 Group and the Liverpool Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Studies who gave good advice that assisted in my research both when crossing muddy fields in cold rain to visit castles, in warm lecture rooms and by various forms of mail; to people in Japan and China who were pleased to answer my questions and send photographs and articles; to Jean Mesqui, who encouraged my early research and corrected my French writing; almost finally, to my wife who, enduring much, visited almost as many castles as me and developed a excellent eye – far better than mine – for spotting castle features; however, above all I give thanks to my primary supervisor, Professor Peter Gaunt, who was my rock in the storm and from whom I learned many things, not always related to history and castles.

A Note to Researchers N.B. When Using the Index, Researchers Should
A note to Researchers The Arundel Castle Archive Catalogues have been electronically scanned, a process which resulted in mysterious changes to some of the characters, e.g. the letters ‘r’ and ‘n’ when occurring together were sometimes changed into the letter ‘m’, fractions are often not recognised, the letter H and the £ signs sometimes become #. Every effort has been made to correct such things, but researchers should be aware that some anomalies may remain. If in doubt about any of the entries, or if you come across and can clarify anything we have missed, please contact a member of the Archive team at Arundel Castle. Information in the catalogues which has been found to be incorrect is indicated by striking through, and any additional information appears throughout the catalogues inside square brackets and in red. N.B. When using the Index, researchers should be aware that the page numbers refer to those at the bottom of the (original) catalogue page and NOT to the computer generated page numbering. Document references must include the letter reference (highlighted at the top of the page) as well as the number. ARUNDEL CASTLE ARCHIVES INTERIM HANDLISTS Nos. 1-12 edited by FRANCIS W.
