• 1. St Nicholas, Bramber, Sussex, England
    S doorway, upper half, from S
    Originally Collegiate church, then chapel, now parish church
    Of the early Norman 11thc. church, only the nave and tower survive. Since the demolition of the transepts and chancel, the tower has served as the chancel. An addition at W end was built in 1931. Romanesque sculpture is found on the S nave doorway, on a column reset in the W gable and in the tower and transept arches.

    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.
  • 3. St Andrew, Steyning, Sussex, England
    Church Plan
    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.
