| Chichester Chichester is a Georgian city with many medieval aspects. Dr Thomas Sharp has commented: '...outside the special places like Oxford, Cambridge and Bath, the city has few rivals, and certainly none among the smaller towns'. The four main streets stretch out like a compass following the Roman and medieval plan and, although small in scale, Chichester radiates great stature. The old city packed itself between the walls yet there are unusually fine areas of park and gardens. |
