Chichester Cathedral (formally the Cathedral Church of the Holy Trinity) is a Church of England cathedral in Chichester, Sussex. It is the seat of the Bishop of Chichester. It was founded as a cathedral in 1075, replacing the cathedral founded in 681 by St Wilfrid for the South Saxons at Selsey. The work took place between 1091-1123 under Bishop Ralph de Luffa. The cathedral was substantially rebuilt and re-consecrated after a fire in 1187. The central tower was completed in the 13th century. The spire was completed in 1402 but rebuilt by George Gilbert Scott after it collapsed in 1861. There is a free-standing early 15th-century bell tower. The cathedral is within the council area of Chichester (West Sussex).
