The mosaic of Saint Dominic is made of glass from Murano, Venice. The glass tesserae are cut and set into wet lime plaster as a working surface, before being set permanently into mortar. Saint Dominic is shown with bare feet, carrying a crossed staff, signifying his itinerant life. He also carries a copy of the gospels from which he preached. The vestments he wears, for the Dominican order, were developed in his own lifetime.

Excavations suggest that underneath the centre and eastern end of the Cathedral once stood a large Roman house. Parts of this structure’s mosaic tiled flooring can be viewed under a glass walkway, in the South Aisle.

Discovered in 1829 behind the woodwork of the choir stalls, these two carved stones have been dated to the second quarter of the 12th century, making them one of the earliest pieces of art in the Cathedral. They depict two scenes, Christ arriving in Bethany and the Raising of Lazarus, and are currently on display in the South Nave Aisle. Find out more here.

Considered the spiritual heart of a church, the High Altar represents the ‘Holy Table’, a sacred place for gifts and prayers to be offered to God.

Created in 1968 by the sculptor Philip Jackson, the bronze statue of ‘Christ in Judgement’ is positioned in the Retroquire above the entrance to the Lady Chapel. The subject of the statue is the final judgement of the world by Jesus, a popular theme in religious art pieces. Find out more here.

Located outside Chichester Cathedral, at its northwest corner, stands a larger than life-size bronze statue of a cloaked St. Richard, created by Philip Jackson.

In his left hand St. Richard grasps both a roped scourge, a symbol of self-discipline, and the edge of his cloak. His outstretched right arm makes the sign of a holy blessing.

Also known as The Sailors’ Chapel, The Chapel of St Michael is a memorial to the Royal Navy and the people of West Sussex who gave their lives at sea in World War II. It was dedicated by Queen Elizabeth 2nd and the Duke of Edinburgh in July 1956. The Chapel was substantially refurbished and re-dedicated in 2017 thanks to a generous bequest and money from the Chichester Cathedral Friends. Find out more here.

The Arundel Tomb in the north aisle of Chichester Cathedral was brought from Lewes Priory after its dissolution in 1537. It is a tomb chest and on top lays the recumbent figures of Richard Fitzalan, 2nd Earl of Arundel, and his wife, Eleanor of Lancaster – they are gently holding hands.  The tomb is best known today for inspiring Philip Larkin’s 1955 poem, An Arundel Tomb and its touching final line ‘What will survive of us is love’.

One of the greatest figures in British 20th century music, Gustav Holst had a special connection to Chichester Cathedral. The composer, who wrote The Planets suite, was a friend of Chichester's Bishop Bell and worked with him on the Whitsuntide Festivals. Holst died in 1934, before winning international recognition for his work. On his death, his ashes were buried in the North Transept underneath a memorial to his favourite Tudor composer, Thomas Weelkes. The memorial to Holst was installed and dedicated in 2009, and reads: 'The Heavenly Spheres make music for us.'

This space was originally part of a pre-Cathedral church dedicated to St Peter. The North Transept is now home to a second set of Tudor paintings by the artist Lambert Barnard, who also created the large Tudor paintings in the South Transept.
