And so, I find myself on the cusp of a street in Winchester that is as much a sensory experience as a route from A to B, as much a passage of rights as a passageway for cars.
The Great Hall in Winchester is the only surviving building from the medieval Winchester Castle.
With its peculiar design and historical significance, it stands as one of the most intriguing architectural gems in England.
The C15th (and later) quadrangle surrounds a remarkable Transitional Romanesque church of the C12th and C13th.
If you are bound in any way by your circumstances, I hope that my story and my travels will help you expand your horizons and, if you are not: that your view of these isles might be refreshed through my lens, brush and pen.

I stop and stare and take in a few breaths. I’m in a state of awe, but it isn’t the view here in the crypt that has made me so. I’m here to steady my thoughts - to stop and think about the enormity of something that lies within the presbytery above my head.
The church reads like an archaeological record - full of layers of history.
