Pallant House
Pallant House Review
Chichester's architecture is mainly Georgian, and its 18th-century stone houses give it a wonderful period appearance. One of the best is Pallant House, built in 1712 as a wine merchant's mansion. At that time its state-of-the-art design showed the latest in complicated brickwork and superb wood carving. Appropriate antiques and porcelains furnish the faithfully restored rooms. The Pallant House Gallery, attached to the house, showcases a small but important collection of mainly modern British art. Admission includes entry to the Hans Fiebusch Studio, nearby in St. Martin's Square, with an exact re-creation of the London studio of this exiled German artist (1898-1998) who was the last member of the so-called degenerate art group.
