A digital sketch of an old house by a small arched bridge crossing a branch of the River Itchen in Winchester, Hampshire. Here the public footpath to St Cross passes by Winchester College following the stream through water meadows. The River Itchen is one of Britain's chalk streams - noted for their clarity and abundance of wildlife. This peaceful corner reflects the age and character of this beautiful old city - once the capital of King Alfred's Wessex and the resting place of Jane Austen.

The old City Bridge spanning the River Itchen in the heart of Winchester, Hampshire. The bridge, also known as St Swithun's Bridge was built in 1813, replacing older ones and is now a Grade 1 listed structure. It spans the clear flowing waters of the River Itchen, one of Britain's notable chalk streams. Behind the bridge is the old City Mill, the present building dating from 1744, replacing older mills on the site. Working commercially until ihe early 1900s, it is now fully restored.

A digital painting from my original photograph of Great Minster Street in the beautiful city of Winchester in Hampshire. A rainy night with the wet cobblestones reflecting the lights from the shops and the Christmas decorations. Winchester was the first capital city of England until the Norman Conquest and is the capital of Wessex. Adjacent to this image is the towering Norman cathedral - the centre and heart of the city.

The Norman tower of Winchester Cathedral which sits squarely at the crossing point of this beautiful old building. It was typically Norman (and Saxon) to build their great churches in this cruciform plan with a central tower. Here we can see the round-arched Norman windows in the belfry and the transept. The nave windows are of later perpendicular design. The cathedral as we see it dates from 1079 - 1532 and replaced two previous Saxon Minster churches.

The west front of Winchester Cathedral with the Christmas market on the pavement. Winchester, dedicated to The Holy Trinity, St Peter, St Paul and St Swithun is one of the largest cathedrals in England and has the longest nave and overall length of any Gothic cathedral in Europe. Originally founded in 642, the present cathedral was started in 1079 and was consecrated in 1093. The design is typically Norman cruciform with a squat, square tower at the crossing.Each Christmas a market is held with stalls around the cathedral close together with a skating rink.

By the Priory Gate to Winchester Cathedral sits this beautiful Medieval group of buildings. On the left is Cheyney Court which dates from the C15th and was once the bishop's court house. It has a mellowed stone ground floor and fine half timbering above with diamond-paned windows. The building next to it was the Cathedral's stable block. Winchester is an ancient city with many similar buildings - and was the capital of Wessex - and England. A digital drawing from my original photograph.

Standing under the trees and looking over the streams and sluices in the water meadows at St Cross near Winchester, Hampshire. Across the lush green grass lies the Hospital of St Cross, its almshouses providing accommodation fror 25 elderly men. Rising above is the magnificent Norman tower of the church, echoing that of Winchester Cathedral a short distance away.

Looking across the River Itchen towards the buidings of prestigious Winchester College. This was founded by William of Wykeham in 1382 - hence the boys there being known as Wykehamists. The Itchen is one of Britain's beautiful and precious chalk streams - famous for clear waters and an abundance of wildlife. Further along this path to the left is St Cross with its ancient church and almshouses while to the right is Winchester. The image is finished in the style of a coloured pencil drawing.

One of the several branches of the River Itchen as it flows out of Winchester, Hampshire, towards the village of St Cross. This is one of Britain's much prized chalk streams and the Itchen is highly valued as one of the main ones for fly fishing. It starts life in mid-Hampshire and flows south to eventually meet the sea at Southampton. Chalk streams are havens for wildlife, the chalk base giving superb filtration and storage. As a result, many endangered plant and animal species thrive here. Nikon D7100 Nikkor 18-200

St Cross Hospital lies across the water meadows from Winchester in Hampshire, England. its almshouses provide a living for 25 elderly men. Rising above the almshouses and towering above the meadows is the magnificent Norman church which echoes nearby Winchester Cathedral.
