history
The chapel was founded in 1390 by Richard FitzAlan, 4th Earl of Arundel . It is located on the grounds of Arundel Castle and is used as a burial place for the Dukes of Norfolk. It is an example of Gothic architecture with carved choir stalls and a wooden roof. It contains artistically richly decorated stone coffins. In 1879 it was decided that the chapel should remain Catholic and not join the Protestant community.
