  The Chichester area is ideally situated in one of the many beautiful parts of England. Historians and archaeologists are still uncovering and exploring new sites in the area which show activity from ancient history and the Roman period. This guide combines three aspects of life in the Chichester area - visitor's Chichester, historical Chichester and contemporary Chichester. Striking photographs combined with expert local commentary provide a memorable, visual record of a living city. Some of the photographs come from existing local sources; the great majority have been commissioned for the book and are the work of Iain McGowan FRPS. Richard Pailthorpe, of The Weald and Downland Open Air Museum at Singleton, compiles the text, providing a detailed knowledge of the area's history and the fabric of people and places which enrich contemporary Chichester life.
