註釋Winchester offers a veritable feast of history, much of it unrecognized by 21st century visitors. This history of the Saxon capital of Wessex is told through evocative photographs of its buildings and intricate nooks and crannies. Brought to life with intriguing accounts are: St Catherine's Hill, the site of a hill fort in 150 bc; the Peninsula Barracks, once a military establishment and now home to a range of museums; Winchester College, built in 1352, and its 14th-century gothic chapel; Winchester Cathedral, parts of which date from 1079; the resting place of novelist Jane Austen; the working water mill, still on its original medieval site; and King Arthur's Round Table. Featuring a map showing points of interest, this is a must-read for locals and visitors alike.
