Winchester is world famous as the ancient capital of England. Much of the medieval heritage of the city survives today, as revealed in the pages of this book, together with more recent scenes, in a series of pictures carefully selected to illustrate the development of Winchester and how it has changed through the centuries. Each picture has been meticulously researched, using an unprecedented range of sources, to provide a wealth of information and new insights into the city’s past.
The book concentrates on the period since the 18th century, when the city was at its lowest ebb and much of it was lying derelict. Winchester’s population at some 4,000 was still well below the estimate of 11,000 in 1300 and in continuing decline after 60% mortality during the Black Death of 1348. It did not exceed 10,000 again until between 1841 and 1851, when a burgeoning population grew dramatically, and the walled area filled up once again.
All who know the ancient city will enjoy this very readable and splendidly illustrated account of its past; while those with an interest in local history will welcome its examination of the city’s evolution over the past 250 years, together with the invaluable photographic archive it makes available and explains. The book is as entertaining as it is informative.
