Taken in Winchester Cathedral

This building is Winchester's second cathedral, the first (the Old Minster) was founded 642, becoming part of a monastic settlement in 971, and finally demolished after the consecration of the second cathedral. The second cathedral was begun in 1079 at the instigation of the first Norman Bishop, Walkelin, and was consecrated in 1093.

The original crossing tower collapsed in 1107, the replacement still stands. A retrochoir was added by Godfrey de Lucy in 1189; with the west front and nave rebuilt in the mid-fourteenth century. The monastic buildings were demolished following the Reformation.
