Summary
| Description |
English: Winchester cathedral Taken from the 2nd floor of Hampshire County Council's refurbished offices at E2 Court. The cathedral squats in the valley of the River Itchen, but none the less dominates the city. Started in 1079 by Bishop Walklin, it was consecrated in 1093. The tower fell down in 1107 (thought to be bad luck caused by the burial of the unpopular King William 2nd (Rufus) here in 1100) and was never rebuilt. The nave (this end between the West window and the tower) is the second longest in Europe after St. Peter's in Rome. |
