Winchester
Winchester was the ancient capital of England during the reign of King Alfred the Great in the 900’s. The great Cathedral of today has a history stretching back to 1079 and is built in the Norman Romanesque style. It’s bishops were men of enormous wealth and power. The chantry chapels and memorials of these great prelates are a key feature of the Cathedral. Pilgrims sought the shrine of the saints; notably a former bishop, Saint Swithun. His festival on 15 July is said to set the pattern for the weather for the next forty days. A short walk away is the historic Winchester Castle, seat of the Knights of the Round Table – you can see the table in the castle’s Great Hall.
