The Desecration of Winchester
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. They smashed its stained glass, choir stalls and Royal chapel. They burned its library and scattered the bones of the Saxon king’s and bishops of England on the cathedral floor.
