Description
The Cathedral Church of the Holy Trinity and Cloisters in Chichester is primarily the work of Bishop Ralph de Luffa, who oversaw the construction of the pillars and arches of the nave and choir between 1091 and 1123. The retro-choir was added in 1199, with the aisles completed between 1223 and 1244. The Lady Chapel was built from 1288 to 1305. The tower and spire, originally constructed in the 13th and 15th centuries respectively, were rebuilt after their collapse in 1861 by Sir Gilbert Scott and Slater. The cloisters date back to the 15th century. Restoration work was carried out from 1840 to 1860 by R C Carpenter and J Butler, and in 1901, the north-west tower was replaced by J L Pearson.
