A compact doorway to a vanished time, Bell's Cathedrals invites you to walk the sacred stone of Chichester's Cathedral and drift through the corridors of a church-shaped city. This is more than a guide; it is a careful, humanised study of fabric, light, and history. Hubert C. Corlette's early twentieth century survey unfolds as a clear, accessible historical architectural guide, balancing technical notes with evocative prose. You'll discover the cathedral's fabric described with care, and a concise overview of the Diocese and See that places Chichester within its ecclesiastical story. The book speaks to cathedral enthusiasts, researchers and students, and to anyone drawn to religious heritage and the quiet drama of architectural form. Its literary and historical significance rests in its precise snapshot of an era when Britain's sacred spaces were being read, drawn, and documented with reverence. For casual readers, it offers a doorway into ceremonial space and local life; for classic-literature collectors, it stands as a well-preserved, citable artefact of early twentieth century Britain. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, this concise volume provides an illustrated, context-rich snapshot of West Sussex's cathedral landscape and a lasting resource for visitors and scholars alike.
