About This Book

A visual and descriptive tour of Winchester presenting pen-and-ink drawings with succinct captions and accompanying notes that record cathedral architecture, college cloisters, gates, the city cross, hospital windows, mills, the castle hall and surrounding hills. Illustrations emphasize structural elements such as arches, clerestories, buttresses, the nave and font, while text draws attention to street views, riverside scenes, and notable gates and courts.
