The cathedral has many treasures and artworks, the most precious being two carved reliefs dating from the 12th century which are of exceptional rarity among English sculpture.<ref name="TTB" /><ref name="ACT" /> Other ancient treasures include the remains of a [[Roman Britain|Roman]] mosaic pavement, which can be viewed through a glass window, and a set of thirty-eight medieval [[misericords]], dating from 1330, which remain beneath the seats of the choir, despite the fact that other parts of the choir stalls are largely a Victorian reconstruction.<ref name="ACT" />

Among the famous graves are those of the composer [[Gustav Holst]] and the Gothic "Arundel tomb", showing the recumbent [[Richard FitzAlan, 10th Earl of Arundel]] (1313–1376), holding hands with his second wife, [[Eleanor of Lancaster]] (1318–1372). The tomb was celebrated in the poem "[[An Arundel Tomb]]" by [[Philip Larkin]]. Also resting there is Joan de Vere, grandmother of Richard FitzAlan, who died in 1293. She, as was her grandson, was first buried at Lewes Priory, but their tombs were relocated to Chichester at the time of the dissolution.

The cathedral contains many modern works of art, including [[tapestry|tapestries]] by [[John Piper (artist)|John Piper]] and Ursula Benker-Schirmer, a window by [[Marc Chagall]], a painting by [[Graham Sutherland]] (''Noli me Tangere''), a sculpture and a font by [[John Skelton (sculptor)|John Skelton]] and a [[reredos]] for the St [[John the Baptist]]'s Chapel by [[Patrick Procktor]]. Outside the cathedral stands a bronze statue of St Richard of Chichester by [[Philip Jackson (sculptor)|Philip Jackson]].<ref name="CC" />

The cathedral also contains a pennant presented by [[Francis Chichester]], which hung on his ship when he circumnavigated the globe.
