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.
