We are delighted to announce the publication by Archaeopress of The Anglo-Saxon Minsters of Winchester by Birthe Kjølbye-Biddle, Martin Biddle, et al. (Winchester Studies 4.i).
This three-volume work offers a comprehensive study of Winchester’s Anglo-Saxon minsters – Old Minster, New Minster and Nunnaminster/St Mary’s Abbey – together with their cemeteries, domestic buildings, and elements absorbed into the Norman cathedral including the setting for the cult of St Swithun. Scientific evidence, and documentary, architectural, and artistic sources are woven into the results of the major excavations carried out on the sites of Old and New Minster between 1961 and 1970, and later work on Nunnaminster/St Mary’s Abbey, to present a new synthesis of Winchester’s ecclesiastical landscape.
It is available in print or as an e-book https://www.archaeopress.com/Archaeopress/Products/9781805830405
