It was a nice sunny day for a ‘PhotoWalk’ in Chichester last
year, with lots of interesting buildings and details to see and photograph. I
think that Chichester, Winchester and Guildford are as good as each other but
I, of course, prefer Guildford.
The centre was quite busy with shoppers but peaceful in the
Cathedral (pleased that they do not charge for entry as a lot of other
cathedrals do). Some good stained glass especially an excellent set of windows
in the Lady Chapel by Clayton & Bell, there is a large window (1877) in the
South Transept by Marechal of Metz with stunning coloured glass and flying serpents
!
Then onward to Bognor Regis through a sea of neat bungalows,
all spick & span, then some attractive Tudorbethan houses nearer Bognor.
The “Regis” was bestowed on Bognor in 1929. A bustling shopping street,
unpretentious and quite unlike Chichester. A few buildings of interest including the
RC church (1881) by J S Hansom an impressive West front with a plate tracery
rose window.
