Chichester Cathedral: a short guided tour of its architecture


Listen Later

This is a taster of my longer full guided tour of Chichester Cathedral. It takes you on a journey to discover the different architectural styles and features of this magnificent Cathedral.


The podcast helps you to distinguish between Romanesque, Gothic, and Perpendicular architectural styles and why they look like they do.


I will guide you around the building, but you may also want to pick up a map, at the Cathedral's entrance, or download it here:

Please also refer to the Cathedral's website for opening times.


If you enjoy this podcast, why not download the full tour, which tells you the 1,000 years of history of Chichester Cathedral, its saints, the Kings and events that have shaped the way it looks, and its wonderful connections to the arts. You can find this longer podcast on Apple or Spotify. Please also consider following Painting Stories Podcasts on Instagram.


Music: Holst, The Planets, Op.32-2. Venus, the Bringer of Peace.
