Winchester was once the capitol and centre of Anglo-Saxon rule long before London. The site of this Cathedral has been a place of worship for over fifteen centuries. The Normans invaded and set about stamping their authority on all things, including the Church.
Fifteen centuries of English history lie behind the massive Cathedral you see today. It stands at the heart of historic Winchester, once the seat of Anglo-Saxon and Norman royal power, on the site of an early Christian church. It’s been a place of worship ever since.<br />
