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.
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.
At Winchester Cathedral, along the top of the screens to the presbytery are six caskets. Each one has been inscribed with lettering.
Surely one of the marvels of the late medieval world? The Great Screen was completed in 1476 and forms the backdrop (reredos) to the altar.
