Chichester Cathedral nave is unusual in that its aisles were doubled in the 13th century. Under the floor of the nave are the remains of a Roman mosaic pavement, which can be viewed through a glass window. In the interior are the graves of the composer Gustav Holst and the Gothic "Arundel tomb" referred to in a famous poem by Philip Larkin.

The cathedral contains several modern works of art, including tapestries by John Piper and Ursula Benker-Schirmer, a stained-glass window by Marc Chagall, a painting by Graham Sutherland called "Noli me Tangere", and a reredos for the St John the Baptist's Chapel by Patrick Procktor.
