Chichester

It was years ago that I went to Chichester so last week I decided to pay a second trip. You have to warm to a city that has Gothic road signs and tops its pedestrian signposts with little versions of the Market Cross:

And this endearingly hideous gargoyle is on one of the buildings on West Street:

There is gaudy medievalism in the cathedral ...
... and Georgian restraint in the side streets.

  1. And, if my memory serves, the lovely Arundel tomb, which inspired the wonderful, challenging poem by Philip Larkin.
