フェリーは非常に小さいので、セーリングボートの費用なしで港の体験の一部になったような気分を味わえます!!

In the case of a "market cross," such as the one we encounter once again in the center of Chichester, one would have to ask the fundamental question of whether it is actually primarily a small sacred monument—as its cross shape suggests—or whether it is more of a secular object. In times long past, such a cross—unlike the classic wayside crosses or field crosses—was only allowed to be erected on site if the locality in question also possessed so-called "market rights"—that is, if it had been granted a corresponding privilege by the local ruler.

Doors open on our visit and well worth exploring the austere, spartan Norman church

It's not only the market cross. Only about 100 yards from here you find the impressive cathedral with adjacent monastery - worth a visit. And across the dtreet from the cathedral in another former church you find the pleasant "The Duke's" Pub.

A mighty cathedral with an adjoining monastery marks the center of the small town of Chichester.

Saint NICHOLAS, Bishop of Myra, to whom the church in West Thorney is dedicated, is – alongside Saint Martin, Bishop of Tours in France – one of the most popular saints of all. His memorial day in the calendar of saints, December 6th, is probably known to almost every child. On the eve of this day, children used to put their shoes or boots – which had of course been carefully polished – outside the door so that Saint Nicholas could fill them with gifts during the night. In more agricultural areas, it was also customary for children to put out a small gift of food for the donkey, Saint Nicholas's mount (according to another tradition, it was a white horse).
