Greyfriars Church (Guildhall Museum), Priory Park, Chichester, West Sussex - 18th July 2007

The Guildhall was built in 1269 as the church for the Greyfriars. After the Dissolution of the monasteries in 1538 the church became the Town Hall. It was also used as a court room with famous trials including Willaim Blake (famous for writing 'Jerusalem') in 1804.
