Winchester Cathedral, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Nestled in the heart of Hampshire, one of Southern England's most historic buildings, Winchester Cathedral boasts centuries of English heritage, magnificent architecture, priceless treasures and works of art. Once the seat of Anglo-Saxon and Norman royal power, this fascinating site has played host to Kings and Queens for centuries, including William the Conqueror, Mary Tudor and Prince Philip of Spain. Winchester Cathedral has its roots in the 7th century, and the present Cathedral was consecrated in 1093. Between c970 and 1539 it was at the heart of a Benedictine monastery, St Swithun’s Priory, and since 1541 it has been run by a Dean and Chapter. #cathedral #unitedkingdom #castle
