About Fencing in Winchester

Winchester in Hampshire served as the capital of the Kingdom of Wessex and, after Alfred the Great made it his seat of power in 871, became effectively the capital of a newly unified England following his death in 899, a status it held until London's growing size and importance overtook it during the 12th and 13th centuries. Alfred rebuilt and expanded the city, encouraging settlement and founding the New Minster alongside the older Saxon cathedral to serve a growing population. The present Winchester Cathedral, built between 1079 and 1420, is the longest medieval cathedral in the world and remains the city's most striking reminder of its centuries as the heart of English royal power.
