You’ve probably seen him around Winchester. His statue stands proudly above Boots the Chemist on the High Street, and another can be found on the Buttercross Monument. His emblem also appears on the Wykeham Arms pub in Kingsgate Street.
But who was he really?
A remarkable bishop, statesman, and founder of Winchester College and New College, Oxford, William of Wykeham left a lasting mark on the city and beyond.
