Arundel Cathedral

Arundel Cathedral is faced with Bath stone and is in the French Gothic style. The planned spire was never built over the north porch.

The west façade has striking figures of Christ and his apostles and a statue of Mary with her divine child, together with a large rose window adorned with stained glass.

The Cathedral was founded by Henry 15th Duke of Norfolk, whose old established family own extensive estates around Arundel, and the building was completed by July 1873, to designs of Joseph Hansom (inventor of the Hansom cab).
