Winchester has one of the darkest and most fascinating histories on record—more than 2,000 years of death, disease, and destruction. Containing dozens of true stories, including the tale of William Walker, the diver who spent five years in pitch-black water under the cathedral; the Queen who walked on fire; with ‘sufferings she could not describe' concerning the life and dolorous death of Miss Jane Austen; and the secret histories of Winchester's most famous buildings. You'll never see the city in the same way again!
