It may be one of the oldest buildings in the city, but many people in Chichester don't even notice it is there.
The Church of St Olave, in North Street, was built a staggering 957 years ago in 1050 and is situated in the heart of Chichester.
Currently situated between a bookies and a high street shop, it is easy to miss this hidden gem.
Today the church is no longer a place of worship, having been turned into a Christian bookshop in 1957.
And this month marks the 50th anniversary of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge (SPCK) bookshop in Chichester.
