This magnificent cathedral in Winchester has the longest nave in Europe. The foundations were laid by the Normans in 1079, and to this day it remains a stunning landmark. Its outstanding treasures include the Winchester Bible, which was written in the cathedral's scriptorium between 1160 and 1180, and a 17th Century library that contains ancient manuscripts and early printed books. Ancient kings like King Canute lie buried here and the novelist Jane Austen.NYC Best Hotel Deals: 50% Savings In New York! Experience New York At It's Finest!JustClickLocal.comAlaska – it’s HOT!
