The much-visited city of Winchester will be well known for King Alfred’s statue, the Great Hall & Jane Austen’s final resting place.
However, woven into its long & remarkable history are hidden gems of little-known stories, from the bishop who had a vision of King Arthur on one Winchester hill, to the sorry fate of an Anglo-Saxon earl who lost his head on another; from an empress fighting for the Crown, to the eventful life of one medieval Jewish family; from the horrors of the Black Death, to the opulence of a Tudor royal wedding.
Centuries of commerce & culture, religion & war have shaped the city.
