The story of Winchester is both chequered and colourful - from its first unsteady beginnings as pre-Roman tribal centre and its rise as Anglo-Saxon capital, the street plan of which survive today - to its decimation by the Black Death and its subsequent rebirth. In the light of archaeological evidence, this work provides a guide to the story of Winchester and the people who played a part in it. It examines the social and economic framework of the city through the ages, the rise and fall of royal influence, and the role of the Church in the city's development. A walking tour of the city's best sights is included. No library descriptions found. |
