The Fitzalan Chapel is located within the eastern end of the church building constructed on the western grounds of Arundel Castle. This church building is one of the very few church buildings that is currently divided into two worship areas, one Catholic and one Anglican, with the western side of the church building occupied by the Anglican church of St Nicholas. The Catholic chapel, now the private mausoleum of the Dukes of Norfolk, is a Grade I listed building. Richard FitzAlan, 10th Earl of Arundel was responsible for the building of the Chapel posthumously according to his will. The original Fitzalan Chapel consisted of the entire building, and was built as the Collegiate Church of the Holy Trinity in 1380 by commission of Richard FitzAlan, 11th Earl of Arundel, whose family owned Arundel Castle. It is an example of Perpendicular Gothic architecture, and the architect and mason is believed to have been William Wynford. A number of noted Fitzalan and Howard family members are buried in the chapel, many in tombs adorned with sculpted effigies. Most of the recently deceased Dukes of Norfolk are buried there.〔http://www.mmtrust.org.uk/mausolea/view/353/Fitzalan_Mausoleum〕 The chapel was badly damaged in 1643 during the siege of Arundel Castle by the Parliamentarians' cannons during the English Civil War. It remained neglected throughout the 18th century. During this period, the Anglican parish was established in the western portion of the church building. Bernard Howard, 12th Duke of Norfolk is credited with initiating major repairs to the Fitzalan Chapel circa 1837, and his successors expanded and restored the chapel further. Fitzalan Chapel is now vested in an independent charitable trust (No. 279379), and accepts donations for further maintenance and preservation. It is currently open to the public by access from the castle grounds. ==Burials== * Thomas FitzAlan, 12th Earl of Arundel (1381–1415) * his wife, Beatrice, Countess of Arundel (c. 1386–1439) * John FitzAlan, 13th Earl of Arundel (1385–1421) * his wife, Eleanor Berkeley (d. 1455), daughter of Sir John Berkeley of Beverstone, Gloucestershire * John FitzAlan, 14th Earl of Arundel (1408–1435) * William FitzAlan, 16th Earl of Arundel (1417–1487) * his wife Joan Neville (1434–1462), eldest daughter of Richard Neville, 5th Earl of Salisbury * Thomas Salmon (d. 1430), Chamberlain to King Henry V * his wife, Agnes Salmon (d. 1418), Principal Lady-in-Waiting to Beatrice, Countess of Arundel. * William FitzAlan, 18th Earl of Arundel (1476–1544) * his second wife, Lady Anne Percy, Countess of Arundel (d. 1552), a daughter of Henry Percy, 4th Earl of Northumberland * Henry FitzAlan, 19th Earl of Arundel (1512–1580) * his second wife, Mary Arundell, daughter of John Arundell (1474–1545) * Henry Frederick Howard, 22nd Earl of Arundel (1608-1652) * his wife,Lady Elizabeth Stuart(1610–1674), daughter of Esme Stuart, 3rd Duke of Lennox * Henry Howard, 6th Duke of Norfolk (1628-1684) * his wife, Lady Anne Somerset (1631?–1662), daughter of Edward Somerset, 2nd Marquess of Worcester * his second wife, Jane Howard, Duchess of Norfolk (née Bickerton; 1643/4-1693) * Henry Howard, 7th Duke of Norfolk (1655-1701) * Thomas Howard, 8th Duke of Norfolk (1683-1732) * Edward Howard, 9th Duke of Norfolk (1686-1777) * his wife, Mary Howard, Duchess of Norfolk (d. 1773) * Charles Howard, 10th Duke of Norfolk (1720-1786) * his wife, Catherine Brockholes (d. 1784) * Lord Henry Howard-Molyneux-Howard (1766–1824), brother of the 5th Duke of Norfolk * his wife, Elizabeth Long Howard-Molyneux-Howard (1769-1835) * their daughter, Juliana Barbara Howard Ogilvy (1812–1833) * Bernard Howard, 12th Duke of Norfolk (1765–1842) * Henry Howard, 13th Duke of Norfolk (1791-1856) * his wife, Charlotte Fitzalan-Howard, Duchess of Norfolk (1788-1870) * Henry Fitzalan-Howard, 14th Duke of Norfolk (1815–1860) * his wife Augusta Fitzalan-Howard, Duchess of Norfolk (1821-1886) * her brother, Richard Bickerton Pemell Lyons, 2nd Baron, 1st Viscount Lyons, of Christchurch, Hants.
