Winchester Cathedral - or, more properly, The Cathedral Church of The Holy Trinity, Saints Peter, Paul and Swithun - is a Cathedral of the New Foundation; at the Reformation it was a Benedictine Cathedral Priory. The See was actually founded at Dorchester-on-Thames in 635 but moved to Winchester in 679. See below

Some Notes on the Religious Foundations in Winchester |
|
Around 648 Cynegils, King of Wessex, built a church in
Winchester, which came to be known as The Old Minster. The actual
see was originally founded at Dorchester in Oxfordshire in 635
but was moved to Winchester in 679 when the church became a
Cathedral Church. The Old Minster acted as a burial place for
the Kings of Wessex and Bishops of Winchester. This church was
enlarged by Bishop Athelwold, being rededicated in 980 and again
in 993. In 1079 Walkelin, the first Norman Bishop of Winchester, began a new church which was ready for worship in 1093. The Old Minster was abandoned and demolished, although the bones of the various kings and bishops were translated to this new church, which survives in part as the Winchester Cathedral of today. The Old Minster was situated north of the nave of the present church and was excavated between 1961 and 1966 by the archaeologist Martin Biddle; these excavations are described in The Old Minster; Excavations near Winchester Cathedral 1961 by Martin Biddle (Winchester 1970). King Alfred and his Queen founded two monastic churches in Winchester. Alfred's foundation - The New Minster - was close to the Old Minster, so close, in fact, that singing from the one church is said to have disturbed those in the other and, according to William of Malmesbury, effected a rivalry which led to 'frequent injuries on either side'! Alfred's Queen founded the Abbey of St Mary, usually known as The Nuns' Minster. These two churches were completed by Alfred's son, King Edward the Elder, and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that the New Minster was consecrated in 903. William of Malmesbury writes that King Alfred was firstly buried in the Old Minster because the New Minster was not yet ready at the time of his death. When the New Minster was completed, Edward removed his father's body for reburial in the new church. Alfred's Queen, although she died in the Nuns' Minster, of which she became abbess, was also buried there. Edward himself was also buried in the New Minster as was King Edwy at a later time. And there they remained until William Giffard removed the New Minster to Hyde - a suburb of Winchester - in 1110 (time of Henry I). The bodies of Alfred, his Queen and Edward the Elder were translated to Hyde, being taken in procession by the monks to their new home - now know as Hyde Abbey. The New Minster itself was demolished. At Hyde Abbey they rested in peace in until the Dissolution of the Monastries when the abbey fell into lay hands, the church was demolished and the graves lost. The possible sites of the graves were found in recent excavations but the contents and any monuments have been lost. Click here for a fairly light hearted investigation of the whole story |
| Lady Chapel | South-East (Bishop Langdon's Chapel) |
 Above: This is a modern stone to Bishop White (1560). A coffin was found in this position which was assumed to be his . He was headmaster of Winchester College, where he prepared a memorial brass in the chapel, and later Bishop of Winchester under Mary I. He fell into disfavour under Elizabeth I and was deprived of his see in 1559, six months before his death. Right: Bishop Langton (1500) The Purbeck Marble tomb chest fills the chapel. The lid has a brass indent. Arms carved on the chest. He was elected Archbishop of Canterbury but died of the plague a few days later. |

 Bishop Peter Mews (1706) Fought at Naseby, where he was taken prisoner. After the Execution of Charles I, retired to Holland where he acted as Royalist agent. As a reward was awarded many ecclesiastical preferments. Fought at Sedgemore for James II where he was wounded and afterwards wore a black patch over his cheek to hide the scar. Buried in the Earl of Portland's vault. He is said to have neglected his diocese |

 Cardinal Beaufort (1477) Chantry Chapel and Effigy. The rather crude effigy is 17th century work, possibly being a copy of that destroyed in 1642 by William Waller's army when the cathedral was ransacked. Arms but brass inscription lost. Son of John of Gaunt, half-bother to Henry IV; weathy and more of a statesman and soldier than an ecclesiastic. Persecuted the Lollards and took part in the trial of Joan of Arc whose image now looks down on him! |

|
Note: The Romanesque apse was demolished in the early 14th century and the present straight screen constucted, the entrance to the Holy Hole, under a platform behind the screen, forming a central and unusual feature. Along the front of the screen is cut an inscription: The bodies of saints lie here buried in peace, From whose merits many miracles shine forth. A row of canopied niches, which orginally contained statues removed at the Reformation, can be seen in this screen. Below these niches are cut a series of names: Kinegilsus Rex; Sanctus Birinus Episcopus; Kinewaldus Rex; Egbertus Rex, Adulphus Rex; Eluredus Rex, filius eius; Edwardus Rex Senior; Adthelstantus Rex, filius eius; Sancta Maria; Dominus Iesus; Edredus Rex; Edgarus Rex; Emma Regina; Alwinus Episcopus; Ethelredus Rex; Sanctus Edwardus Rex, filius eius; Cnutus Rex; Hardecnutus Rex, filius eius. It is said that these statuettes were probably intended to commemorate the kings and bishops whose bones originally lay in chests on the platform above but are now in the mortuary chests. However it includes some who were certainly not buried at Winchester and well as Jesus and the Virgin Mary. It thus may be intended as a display statues of preconquest kings and others not at all related to burials |

 Arnold de Gaveston (early 14th C). Father of Piers Gaveston, favourite of Edward II. Effigy only lying on a modern tomb chest. A panel of the original tomb chest is now in the North-East Chapel. Note tha 'ailettes' (Fr. 'little wings') visible between the upper part of the arm and knee of the damaged angel in the above photographs. These appear between 1290 and 1325 and are quite rare on effigies. They are rectangular, flat or slightly curved structures made of either boiled leather or wood. They may serve to protect the shoulders or be a purely heraldic device. |

These chests are on the top of the choir screens, three to the north and three to the south. I have described them as a plan with east upwards. In this section I have dealt with what can be seen; click here for further information about them.

Notes the the letter N has been reversed on the eastern and central chests but not in the later western ones. Note also the various attempts to include all the inscriptions. I have used the spellings of the Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Danish names as they appear in The Handbook of British Chronology. |

stone. The insciption can just be made out in
the photograph: HIC IACET EDMUNDUS REX EÞELREDI REGIS FILIUS (Here lies King Edmund, son of King Ethelred) |
This well known tomb with the Purbeck marble lid is traditionally said to be that of King William ('Rufus') II, who was accidentally killed while hunting in the New Forest. He was buried under the tower which promptly collapsed: an act of divine wrath directed against the king, or at least the wrath of the monastic chroniclers! The tomb has been moved and opened on several occasions. There are varying accounts of its contents but it is now considered to be more likely that of Bishop Henry de Blois. William Rufus's bones may well be in one of the mortuary chests. |

although I have attempted to edit them some are still
unsatisfactory. I now have new equipment and hope to return to
Winchester to retake most, if not all, of the photographs. My
idea was to include all the monuments in the cathedral but there
are several that I failed to record because they were either
inaccessible being roped off, hopefully temporarily, blocked by
chairs and other items or simply overlooked. Hopefully I can
remedy this in the future. |
