Chichester is doubly fortunate; it is blessed with a great wealth of surviving documentation and with a dedicated researcher, Roy Morgan, who has spent 25 years patiently sifting through every known source to compile this extraordinary reference work. Covering the whole of the city and its four suburbs, he provides in 19 chapters every reference that he has been able to discover, together with a summary of its factual content. He has used the resources of County and Public Record Offices, printed material and title deeds from a large number of Chichester organisations.
