This grade I listed medieval church is situated in a rural hamlet in the West Sussex countryside, just to the east of Chichester. An early nineteenth century schoolhouse is located next to the church - once used as a stable by parishoners attending worship at the church. St Giles' is a simple building dating to the twelfth century, with a deep sweeping roof and a dainty bellcote. Most furnishings and fittings date to the mid-nineteenth century and comprise a largely complete early ecclesiological seating scheme which is of outstanding national historic interest. The font dates from the twelfth century and is one of a series of arcaded Sussex marble fonts found in this region. The immediate surrounding area shows evidence of settlement from the Palaeolithic period and there is evidence of a possible shrunken medieval village nearby. sourced from: https://www.visitchurches.org.uk/visit/our-churches/st-giles-merston#about-this-church

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.

At high tide the water comes very close to the rode here. It's a good place to have a view over this bay and to watch the changing of tides.

The center of the nice city of Chichester - beautiful buildings a rich historic heritage and nice places to have a drink or an meal.

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 good cycle path that connects the center of Chichester with the area north of it. You avoid motorized traffic and the surface is comfortable.

Great view up the Arun towards the sea
