CHICHESTER CAMPUS :
Chichester Campus is situated a short walk away from the main city centre. The campus itself is always buzzing with life and there is always plenty to do in the city.

HISTORY OF CHICHESTER :
Chichester was found 2000 years ago, and was originally called Noviomagus. It was founded by the Romans, evidence of which still remains today. Much of the Roman wall still remains and the huge Roman Palace at Fishbourne is the largest surviving Roman Palace in the whole of Northern Europe.

The Cathedral was built about 900 years ago, around the 11th century. It is famous for its magnificent architecture and works of art. It not only houses the shrine of Richard, the Bishop of Chichester for 8 years, who became Saint Richard, but also contains Romanesque stone carvings, modern paintings and sculptures and a wonderful stained glass window.

The City still follows a medieval plan and revolves around the main crossroads, with Market Cross at the centre. Most of the hustle and bustle of the City can be found in this area, in North, East, South and West Streets.

There are parks and gardens hidden away and you get a real sense of the Roman past walking around. The City is the perfect balance between history and atmosphere and modern day activities and pastimes.
