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. Battle Abbey, Sussex, England

Benedictine Abbey
After the suppression of Battle Abbey in 1538, the church and most of the monastic buildings were demolished. Today, only the Great Gate, abbot's lodgings, guest range and dorter survive above ground level, but the footings of other buildings have been exposed.
4. 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.
5. Holy Trinity, Bosham, Sussex, England

Collegiate church, now parish church
Bosham church is largely Anglo-Saxon, but the upper storey of the W tower and the first chancel extension were erected after the Conquest. The second chancel extension and the aisles are 13thc. The only Romanesque architectural sculpture in situ belongs to the upper storey of the tower, but the interior houses a font, a pillar piscina and loose architectural fragments of 12thc. date.
6. Boxgrove Priory, Boxgrove, Sussex, England

Originally Benedictine Priory, now parish church
Boxgrove church comprises an aisled choir, a crossing tower, N and S transepts, and an aisled nave. Only the E bay of the nave is incorporated within the present church; the rest lies in ruins beyond the W wall, which contains the remains of the monastic pulpitum. Due to the presence of the cloister on the N side of the church, only the westernmost 2.5 double bays of the nave had a N aisle. The earliest surviving parts of the building are the plain N and S transepts and the easternmost bay of the nave (c.1120-50). A phased rebuilding programme seems to have begunc.1180-1200, with the 'transitional' central tower, followed by the westernmost five bays of the nave. The rib-vaulted chancel (c.1200-20) is Early English in style, and makes extensive decorative use of Purbeck shafts. Little survives of the monastic buildings. The weathered facade of the chapterhouse probably dates from the mid-12thc. and the ruined guest-house, standing in a field to the NE, is of the 14thc.
7. 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.
8. St Mary the Virgin, Burpham, Sussex, England

Parish church
Burpham has a W tower, a nave with a S aisle, N and S transepts and a vaulted chancel with a Victorian arch (1869). There are Norman windows in the W and N walls of the N transept.
9. St Bartholomew, Burwash, Sussex, England

Parish church
The W tower is all that remains of an early 12thc. church, rebuilt piecemeal with the addition of N and S aisles later in the medieval period.
10. Charleston Manor, West Dean, Sussex, England

Manor House
Charlton Manor is situated 0.6 miles NW of West Dean church (qv). The earliest datable feature in the W range is a late Norman window, set in the N wall at first-floor level, presumably to light a first-floor hall. An east range was added in the early 17thc. It was doubled by the erection of a new range along its north side in the late 18thc.
11. 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.
12. St Mary, Clymping (or Climping), Sussex, England

Convent/Parish church
The earliest part of the church is the S transept tower (c.1180). The rest of the building (nave, S aisle, N transept and chancel) was rebuiltc.1220-30. The N and S transept arches have reeded consoles with snake-like neckings (cf: South Berstead).
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. St Michael and All Angels, Southwick, Sussex, England

Parish church
The late 12thc. W tower was rebuilt in 1950 after bomb damage, and vestries were added to either side. The nave and aisles were rebuilt in 1835, following a fire, but the chancel is medieval. The vestry and organ chamber on the S side of the chancel date from 1893, at which time the medieval S arcade was reopened.
