On July 29th we went on the Temple Van to visit Chichester Cathedral. It was built about 1100 AD and is about the same age as Canterbury Cathedral. When we told of our visit to Canterbury we mentioned that there was a prayer roll in the crypt but we were not allowed to take pictures in the crypt. We found a prayer roll in the Chichester Cathedral also but it was on the main floor so we could take a picture of it which we have included herein. The builder of this cathedral was Ralph Luffa who built the Cathedral and was Bishop of Chichester from 1091 AD to 1125 AD. He is represented as the central figure in one of the stain glass windows we are including herewith. There is an interesting sun dial on the side of the cathedral. We took the picture of it at about 2:00 PM and the sun dial shows about 1:00 PM as it does not take day light saving into account.

Hope you enjoy the pictures. We really miss everyone back home. Our Grandson Gilbert entered the MTC July 31st on his way to Romania. Have a great mission Gilbert.
Love from Elder & Sister Kiddle
