There are four elements. The spine is High Street running downhill from West Gate to East Gate, and beyond to the bridge across the River Itchen. Back streets run close behind and parallel to High Street on either side. North–south streets run at right-angles from High Street out to the line of the city walls. To north and south their ends are linked by a street which ran, and in part still does run, around the inside of the city walls. This elegant and logical system is first displayed on John Speed’s map of Winchester, published in 1611 (Fig. 2.1).1 In the 1870s the Ordnance Survey mapped the city at the scale of 1:500, the sheets of which were published at this and reduced scales in the following years. The sight of the surveyors at work and the meticulous accuracy and extraordinary detail of their published sheets can only have increased interest in the historical topography of the city. In 1890 the then Dean of Winchester, G.W. Kitchin, while reasonably cautious about the nature of Venta Belgarum, Roman Winchester, published a detailed “Map of Norman Winchester, a.d. 1119,” which he based on the Winton Domesday, a written survey drawn up about 1110 which he now set in the context of the mapped city (Fig. 2.2).2 There are many points of detail which later work would correct, but it was a pioneering attempt. So too was Francis Haverfield’s account of “Winchester—Venta Belgarum,” published in 1900 with for the first time a plan of Winchester “showing Roman remains.” This has the approach roads from north, west, and south (but not the east) and shows the Roman city wall in red, but otherwise only individual","PeriodicalId":178994,"journal":{"name":"The Land of the English Kin","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114425119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thacker","doi":"10.1163/9789004421899_024","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1163/9789004421899_024","url":null,"abstract":"The saint’s cult discussed in this chapter originated in Mercia but was promoted over a wide area, including Chester and, eventually, a monastery which as been described as “to all intents and purposes a West Saxon institution.”1 As such it forms a particularly fitting subject for a volume in honour of Barbara Yorke who has written so extensively and influentially about Anglo-Saxon Wessex in particular and the royal women of Anglo-Saxon England as a whole. This chapter has had an extremely long gestation—I first wrote about St Wærburh in the early 1980s—and it is with great pleasure that I finally present it here to a scholar whose work has made us all rethink our views about Anglo-Saxon kingship and the religious communities and cults that it engendered. The traditions relating to St Wærburh and her relics are well-known. She was the daughter of King Wulfhere of Mercia (657–75) and his wife Eormenhild, and through her mother was closely connected with both the Kentish and East Anglian royal families. She early showed a disposition towards the religious life, and entered the monastery of Ely where her great aunt Æthelthryth was abbess. She remained for some time at Ely, where according to some sources she succeeded her grandmother Seaxburh and her mother Eormenhild as abbess, but was recalled to Mercia by her uncle, King Æthelred, Wulfhere’s brother and successor (675–704), and given authority over the nunneries of his kingdom. She performed miracles while living on her father’s estate at Weedon (Northants) and died about 700 in her monastery of Triccingham (almost certainly Threekingham, Lincs.). After some dissension, she was buried in accordance with her wishes in the monastery of Hanbury, near Repton (Staffs.), where nine years later, in recognition of her sanctity, her remains were elevated at the command of her cousin, the Mercian king Ceolred (709–16), and were found to be miraculously preserved and uncorrupted. Her relics remained enshrined at Hanbury until the time of the Danish invasions, shortly after which","PeriodicalId":178994,"journal":{"name":"The Land of the English Kin","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133115872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
