Bell Tower of the Cathedral, Chichester - Chichester

Grade I listed freestanding bell tower, adjacent to Chichester Cathedral. Circa early C15, probably the work of William Wynford who also designed the cloisters, with Perpendicular style openings. The external surfaces of the stonework are degrading, and structural movement is evidenced by cracks in the buttresses. The Cathedral Restoration and Development Trust aspire to see the fabric repaired and new, sustainable uses found for some of the under-utilised internal spaces.
