| • | The Bishop of Chichester headed in the Middle Ages and Tudor times the Catholic diocese of Chichester in the Province of Canterbury, in England.
The diocese covers the Counties of East and West Sussex.
The see is in the City of Chichester where the seat is located at the Cathedral Church of the Holy Trinity, a fine building founded in 1075, after the seat of the bishop was transferred to the town from nearby Selsey. It was consecrated in 1108, but after a fire and rebuilding reconsecrated in 1199 and further developed since.
Sussex has held a bishopric since 681 when the first cathedral was founded at Selsey on a site which is now probably submerged by the sea off the Sussex coast near Selsey. The seat was moved to Chichester in 1075 under William the Conqueror. In 1559 the last Catholic bishop was deprived by Elizabeth I; the bishops since then have been protestant.
