Excerpt from The History and Antiquities of the See and Cathedral Church of Winchester: Illustrated With a Series of Engravings, of Views, Elevations, Plans, and Details of the Architecture of That Edifice; Including Biographical Anecdotes of the Bishops, and of Other Eminent Persons Connected With the Church
IT is not easy, nor would it be desirable, to examine the Cathedral Of Winchester without connecting it with eminent men and memorable events of former ages. Its history, indeed, is intimately blended with that of the nation; and its annals embrace many facts and relations which cannot fail to interest the feelings of the philosopher, the Christian, the historian, and the antiquary. As connected with the disputable and uncertain primary establishment of Christianity in Britain as the temple wherein its benign doctrines were promulgated to Britons and Romans and as the place of coronation and sepulture of anglo-saxon and Anglo Norman monarchs, the Cathedral Of Winchester is eminently important.
