An illustrated History of Winchester (Hampshire, England), a royal city and one-time capital of England. From the front flap of the "The chief city of Alfred's kingdom of Wessex, Winchester, is the veritable nucleus of the British Empire. Its story is the story of the beginning and rise of the English nation. Its cathedral links the twentieth century with the Conqueror, Duke William of Normandy, and is itself an epitome of English architecture throughout eight centuries. Its citizens boast a chartered municipality older than any in the kingdom, not excepting London. Its famous school was the pioneer of the English public schools, and the direct model of Eton. The story of Winchester is of perennial interest to Anglo-Saxons everywhere; Mr Lloyd Woodland has studied it over many years, and tells it in this book in a way which is at once authentic and attractive. The illustrations are 8 plates from photographs, 16 full-page line and 20 small line drawings by Mr Adrian de Friston, and there is a folding map” The fold-out map (between pages 286 and 287) is reproduced from the Ordnance Survey map, scale not given.
