The desecration of Winchester Cathedral followed the storming of the city by Parliamentary forces on the 12th December 1642. The victorious troops of Sir William Waller went on to cleanse Winchester Cathedral, smashing its stained glass, choir stalls and Royal chapel, burning its library and scattering the bones of the Saxon king’s and bishops of England.
