Pallant House
This Queen Anne town house was built in 1712 for Henry Peckham, a wine merchant. The tastefully furnished rooms are the setting for collections of Bow porcelain and paintings (Henry Moore, Graham Sutherland, John Piper and Paul Nash).

Cathedral grounds
Among the few monastic buildings that remain in the cathedral grounds is the deanery. Pilgrims' Hall supposedly has the oldest reversed hull ceiling known. Just next to the large St Swithin's Gate stands Cheyney Court, with its 15C timber, and the early 16C stables that are now part of Pilgrims' School.

D-Day Museum
The D-Day Museum near the castle illustrates the major events of the Second World War. The centrepiece is the Overlord Embroidery, composed of 34 panels, relating the story of the D-Day landings.
