- 1. Amberley Castle, Sussex, England
-
-
formerly manor house, now hotel The hotel, originated as a 12thc. manor house, of which the S and W ranges survive, together with a mid-12thc. doorway. Much of the remainder of the site was erected in the late 14thc. (see VII History).
- 2. 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.
- 3. St Andrew, Bishopstone, Sussex, England
-
-
Parish church The Anglo-Saxon origins of Bishopstone church are visible in the long and short quoining of the nave and S porticus, and two windows in the W wall of the nave. A scratch dial set over the S doorway is also thought to be Anglo-Saxon. It is inscribed: +EADRIC.
- 4. Broadwater (Worthing), Sussex, England
-
-
Parish church This unusually large but (unfortunately) heavily restored parish church comprises a chancel, central tower, transepts, S vestry and an aisled and clerestoried nave with N and W porches. The earliest part is the central tower (mid-12thc.), with transepts, which were either added or remodelled later in the same century. The nave and chancel date from the 13thc. and the W front was built in 1887.
- 5. All Saints, Buncton, Sussex, England
-
-
Parish Church A small church in a rural location, comprising a single nave with opposing N and S doorways and a short, square-ended chancel. Romanesque sculpture is found on a number of reset fragments and on the chancel arch.
- 6. Chichester Cathedral (Holy Trinity), Chichester, Sussex, England
-
-
Cathedral Chichester Cathedral is situated within the SW quadrant of the city, which was originally laid out by the Romans. A small, irregular cloister ('Paradise') on the S side gives access to the Chapel of St Faith, the 15thc.Vicar's Close, and St Richard's Lane. The Bishop's Palace lies to the SW, and there are a number of clergy houses to the S, along Canon Lane (see separate entry for No.4 Canon Lane). A detached tower stands to the NW.
- 7. St Mary De Haura, New Shoreham, Sussex, England
-
-
Chapel/Parish church This unusually large parish church comprises an aisled choir, crossing tower, transept, and one nave bay, the remainder of the nave having collapsed in the early 18thc. The church was founded in the late 1120s or 1130s (see History, below), and the crossing tower (except for the upper bell-stage), transepts and nave date from the mid-12thc., as does the font. The first chancel had an apsidal termination, and a campaign to add aisles to its sides was undertaken - but possibly not completed - around 1160. The chancel was rebuilt as a fully-fledged choir, complete with aisles and galleries, in the late 12thc. and early 13thc. At the same time an additional bell-stage was added to the tower. The footings of the nave walls, which had collapsed by 1720, can be seen in the graveyard to the W of the church.
- 8. St Mary the Virgin, North Marden, Sussex, England
-
-
Originally chapel of ease, now parish church This small church, approached through a farmyard in a tiny hamlet, has a single nave with opposing doorways (now corresponding to a porch on the S and a vestry on the N, both 19thc. additions), and a apsidal E end. The nave and apse are of the same height and are roofed together, with no structural demarcation of space. The Romanesque style apse windows are modern. There is no electricity.
- 9. St Nicolas, Old Shoreham, Sussex, England
-
-
Parish church The aisleless nave of Old Shoreham is Anglo-Saxon. The tower which once stood at its W end was probably adapted as a nave extension in the mid-12thc., when the central tower and transepts were erected. The large chancel dates from the 14thc., and includes a tie beam carved with dogtooth. In 1840-43 two vestries were built in the angle of the N transept and chancel, and the church was restored.
- 10. St Margaret, Rottingdean, Sussex, England
-
-
Parish church Th nave of Rottingdean church dates from the early 12thc., with the exception of the W wall, which was rebuilt in the 14thc. The central tower and chancel date from the 13thc., and the S aisle was added in 1856. The foundations of a S transept were found in 1909. The loose fragments in the church probably came from the 12thc. church on the site.
- 11. 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.
- 12. St Mary Magdalene, Tortington, Sussex, England
-
-
Parish church A small Norman church. Weather-boarded bell-cote over W end of nave; S aisle (early 13thc.; rebuiltc.1860) with Romanesque S doorway within gabled projection; chancel and N vestry (Victorian).
