Winchester was the capital of Anglo-Saxon England and the home of an immensely important cathedral monastery. We see how the centuries left their mark on the cathedral, from its Norman origins onwards. We meet William of Wykeham, an ambitious and powerful cleric who worked his way up through the royal construction corps and eventually became bishop here, founding both Winchester College and New College Oxford. And we learn how a deep sea diver saved the cathedral from sinking into the boggy ground around it.
