More about this scene
The Castle Gatehouse 1898 The tour moves west to a remarkable building. It looks north over the wide, flat, formerly marshy valley of the River Arun and the Amberley Wild Brooks, and west to the narrowing valley as the river cuts through the South Downs. The castle started out as a manor house for the bishops of Chichester, but in 1377 Bishop Rede was given a licence to crenellate (that is, make a castle) to protect the Arun gap from possible French attack. Here we see the south gatehouse before its Edwardian restoration, which started in 1908, when the battlements were reinstated.
