06/01/10--09:59: Chichester & Havant (chan 2847922)

Chichester is a cathedral city in West Sussex, South-East England. It has a long history as a settlement; its Roman past and its subsequent importance in Anglo-Saxon times are only its beginnings. It has been argued that the area was a bridgehead for the Roman invasion of Britain. The city centre stands on the foundations of the Romano-British city of Noviomagus Reginorum, capital of the Civitas Reginorum, and near to the Roman Palace of Fishbourne. According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle it was captured towards the close of the fifth century, by Ælle and renamed after his son, Cissa. Chichester Cathedral, founded in the 11th century, is dedicated to the Holy Trinity, and contains a shrine to Saint Richard of Chichester. The Chichester Cross, a one-time site for the market, stands at the intersection of the four main roads in the centre of the city. Quite a lot of the city walls are in place, and may be walked along over what still remains. Havant is a town in Hampshire near
