Silver Coin from Winchester, England dated between 875 - 885 on display at Winchester Catherdral, England

This coin was excavated in the Cathedral Close and bears the head of Alfred the Great with the inscription +ÆLFREDREXSA+ which translates to Alfred, King of the Saxons. From 871 to 886 Alfred was King of the West Saxons, the Kingdom of Wessex. During this time of Alfred's reign the Vikings under Guthrum, later King of East Anglia (879 - 890?), Ivar the Boneless, Halfdan Ragnarson, Ubba and Bagsecg formed the Great Heathen Army and invaded much of England.

The Tournai Font from Tournai, Belgium dated to the Mid 12th Century on display at Winchester Cathedral in Winchester, England

The font is made from Tournai marble in Belgium and depicts scenes from the Miracles of St Nicholas of Myra on it's four sides. It was thought to have been commissioned by Bishop Henry of Blois in Belgium and shipped out to England in parts to be assembled upon arrival. The font is still used today for baptisms and Winchester Cathedral.

Henry of Blois was the younger brother of Stephen of Blois the king of England from 1135 to 1154. Despite his brother being king he initially supported the Holy Roman Empress Matilda during the Anarchy. However he later changed sides to support his brother and led a successful defence of Winchester from the Empresses forces.

15/02/2024-Winchester, Lakeside and home

Photos taken in this set are of; an enchanting early spring floral display of snowdrops, crocuses and daffodils at Winchester Cathedral which was a sight to behold, views at Winchester Cathedral including blossom, a Peregrine probably Winnie at Winchester Cathedral it was great to see her again, Carrion Crow at Winchester Cathedral, one of a couple of colourful Feral Pigeons it was nice to see beside the River Itchen, moon this evening, one of a fair few intricate and stunning sky scenes to take in today this morning and pink blossom emerging out the back this morning.

It was also memorable to see my first snowflakes of the year by the river notably early I'm not sure I'd ever seen snowflakes and the similar snowdrops on the same day before with hyacinths seen nicely again too. Other highlights today included two more crows at the cathedral Magpie and Jackdaw, Woodpigeon, Mallards at Abbey Gardens, House Sparrows in the allotment hedge by Lakeside this morning, Blackbird singing so wonderfully this evening in Winchester, periwinkle and daisy.
