A Medieval Wonder That Still Surprises!

Work first began on Winchester Cathedral in 1089 to create what would become the longest medieval cathedral in existence (526 feet): famous for its soaring twelve-bay nave, it is one of England’s greatest, as lovely from without as within.

When I gazed upon this display of names etched upon the walls inside of
the Cathedral, I was reminded of the saying- the more things change-the more they stay the same. For fans of Jane Austen, her crypt stone is layed on the floor of the cathedral.
