- 1. Arundel Castle, Arundel, Sussex, England
-
-
Castle The motte and bailey castle built at Arundel by Roger of Montgomery, Earl of Shrewsbury, in the late 11thc., would have contained mainly wooden structures, although the stone gatehouse is believed to date from that period. In the second half of the 12thc. (c.1170-1190) the circular shell keep was erected, the curtain walls were strengthened and the domestic quarters extended. The castle was ruined during the Civil War, and was largely rebuilt in the late 19thc. (C A Buckler; 1890-1903). This work included the neo-Norman Postern Gate.

Castle This ruined medieval castle stands on the site of a Roman fort, and incorporates some Roman fabric. Much of the standing fabric dates from the 12thc. and 13thc., including the keep, the chapel and the gatehouses. The chapel is in the middle of the inner bailey. There is no Romanesque sculpture in situ.

Parish church A new parish church was erected on a new site in 1864-66, incorporating the nave arcades of the old church. The 13thc. chancel of the old church ('St Wilfrid's Chapel'), located at Church Norton, was left standing.
- 8. St Mary, Sompting, Sussex, England
-
-
Parish Church The church comprises a continuous chancel and nave, a N transept with an E aisle, a S transept (originally a separate chapel) with an E chapel and S porch, and a W tower capped by a 14thc. `Rhenish Helm'. The tower was erected in three 11thc. campaigns: the lower stage is pre-Conquest, the first and second storeysc.1066-80 and the third storeyc.1080-1100. A N doorway demonstrates that vestiges of the nave belong to the first half of the 12thc., but the transepts and chancel were erected after 1154, when the church was acquired by the Templars. The church underwent extensive restorations in 1853, when most of the internal masonry was scraped under R.C. Carpenter. The interior contains a number of fragments ascribed to the 11thc., and a plain 12thc. font.
- 9. St Andrew, Steyning, Sussex, England

-
Formerly Collegiate church, now parish church This church comprises a W tower, a 12thc. aisled nave and a 19thc. chancel. The demolition of the medieval choir, transepts and central tower, dilapidated since the Dissolution, was begun in 1577 and completed in the 17thc. A new chancel and W tower, which occupies the site of the W bay(s) of the nave, were then constructed. What was lost at the E end must have been largely of early 12thc. date, judging from the surviving W piers and arch of the crossing and the E arches of the S and N aisles which formerly opened into the transepts. The nave was erected later in the 12thc. The present chancel is of the 19thc.
