    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.

    BEACH RECHARGE IN SUSSEX & EAST KENT: A PRELIMINARY INVENTORY & OVERVIEW Compiled by R. Williams, edited by C. Moses. Not to be quoted without permission 1 Introduction .......................................................................................................................1 2 Inventory of beach recharge schemes ..............................................................................5 3 Notes and sources ............................................................................................................9 4 Conclusion ......................................................................................................................17 5 References......................................................................................................................21 1 Introduction Sand and shingle are being lost from many beaches in Sussex and Kent as a result of natural coastal processes as well as ill-designed sea defence and coastal protection schemes. To counteract falling beach levels, the Environment Agency and local authorities are increasingly resorting to “topping-up” the beaches with additional sand and shingle. Several terms are currently employed to refer to the artificial provision of extra beach material, but there is disagreement about their precise definition. For the purpose of this report, beach nourishment (or beach replenishment) is defined as the supply of material that has been dredged from the seabed or extracted from inland sand and gravel pits. Beach recycling is defined as the removal
