This map shows Winchester as it was about the year 1800, as a small town but with large and important buildings scattered through it.

The map shows the positions of the major medieval and post-medieval buildings and streets, the abbeys and the astonishingly large number of churches which once stood in the city, the watermills and wharves which served the working population, and the great buildings of the cathedral, castle and college.
