Welcome from the Dean of Chichester
In 1075 the decision to establish the seat of the bishop in Chichester marked the beginning of a remarkable journey for both our diocese and cathedral. For 950 years, Chichester Cathedral has served as the spiritual heart of Sussex, and the mother church of our diocese.
This year, we come together to celebrate this extraordinary legacy through Chichester950, a year-long programme of events that honours the cathedral’s enduring story, and its place in the life of our city, the counties of East and West Sussex, and beyond.
As we reflect on the past, we also look forward with hope and gratitude, seeking to create a lasting legacy of faith, hope and love for future generations. I warmly invite you to join us in this special year of celebration.
