DESCRIPTION

The building of Winchester Cathedral began in 1079, although an important church had stood on an adjoining site from the 7th century. The longest medieval Gothic cathedral in Europe is a place of the finest architecture, art and music, blessed with an extraordinary history and diverse attractions; inter alia, it is particularly known for its several chantry chapels and its beautiful stained glass, including windows by Burne-Jones. Together, the Dean of Winchester's text and the stunning colour photography capture the unique character of a historic monument and a living place of worship in an elegant, atmospheric volume that will be a lasting souvenir. Also included is a complimentary special edition CD featuring music by the acclaimed Winchester Cathedral Choir.
