Chichester – 6 Quirky Facts
- Star Man
Astronaut Tim Peake comes from Chichester. Other famous local faces include Hugh Denis (actor, comedian), Tom Odell (singer), Dame Patricia Routledge (actor), Anita Roddick (Body Shop founder) and Frederick Rees (member of the Dambusters mission). - A Bit Thick!
The original Roman wall that surrounded the city was up to 6ft thick. It survived for over 1,500 years until the Georgian era when much of it was torn down. - Oops!
William Huskisson was MP for Chichester in 1796. However, he became even more famous for his ignoble death when he attended the opening of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. Huskisson and the Duke of Wellington alighted form the train (driven by George Stephenson himself) but Huskisson, confused which way to go, was hit by the Rocket. Ironically his doctor had warned him not to travel because of his ill health. - It’s Great!
Chichester was one of the major strongholds selected by Alfred the Great to help defeat the Vikings and create a single kingdom of England. - Name Game
Chichester was known as ‘Noviomagus Reginorum’ in Roman times, the Saxons called it ‘Cissa’, by the Norman period it had become ‘Cicestre’ and today many locals call it ‘Chi’. - Roman Remains
Roman remains are still being discovered and as late as 2017 a complete, tiled floor of a Roman villa was discovered. The Roman city included baths and an amphitheatre.
