A celebration of Chichester’s individual and often strange history – from eccentric characters to odd events and places.
Chichester’s origins date back to Roman Britain and a subsequent Anglo-Saxon settlement using the fortifications of the original town. The end point of Roman Stane Street, Chichester lies at the foot of the South Downs, controlling a large natural harbour on the South Coast. The city’s Norman cathedral is a prominent landmark alongside Chichester’s wealth of other historical buildings and landmarks. Today, the city is a commercial and cultural centre for West Sussex and beyond, drawing many visitors including to its Festival Theatre and Pallant House art gallery.
In Quirky Chichester author Edward Couzens-Lake delves into lesser known but fascinating tales from Chichester’s past. In this book, readers will find stories of the unusual and often strange history of Chichester and its characters over the years. This fascinating insight into Chichester will be of interest to all those who want to know more about the city’s quirky history.
