Period Architecture in Chichester
Chichester's architectural heritage spans from Roman foundations to elegant Georgian townhouses. The city retains its Roman street plan and Medieval market cross. Georgian architecture (1714-1830) dominates the historic core, with elegant townhouses built from local brick and flint. Victorian additions (1837-1901) include residential development and commercial buildings. Local materials include Sussex flint, red brick, and clay tiles, with mathematical tiles (a local speciality) used to give timber-framed buildings a Georgian appearance. The cathedral close and surrounding streets provide an exceptionally well-preserved Georgian townscape.
