From the time of its Iron Age settlements, rulers, bishops and inhabitants have all left their mark on the city of Winchester. Anglo-Saxon street plans, medieval gateways and castles still preside, as do buildings of religious and scholarly importance. It is this past, tinged with myths and legends, and tales of our most celebrated monarch, King Alfred, which attracts people from all around the world. Here, local author Anne-Louise Barton guides the reader through streets steeped in history, showing how the city's famous landmarks and hidden-away gems have transformed over time. With the help of a handy location map, readers are invited on her tour to discover for themselves the changing face of Winchester.
