After the success of our Women in Winchester Tour last year we ventured out of our usual village in to begin where we left off! Tonight we met outside Winchester Cathedral and were treated yet again to over 2000 years of fascinating history on a guided tour from our Winchester tour guide Kate.
We learnt all about the remarkable origins or Alcoholics Anonymous as well as The Square in Winchester and where the Eclipse Inn got it’s name. Just like last year Kate tailored her tour to include a few women from Winchester and so we heard of the demise of Alice de Lisle and how the Manor of God Begot was gifted to Queen Emma.
We finished our tour up at the castle and so of course had to end with a little history of the round table! A huge thank you to Kate for another wonderful tour. Before the curfew clock could chime it was time for us to sally forth and head home; cooled by the warm summer rain.
