How do watermeadows work? What is a Witan? Why does watercress need a railway? What are the Wallops, Worthys and Wonstons? What did a medieval Winchester washerwoman ever do for us? How many Williams does it take to build a cathedral (quite a few, including Williams Walkelin, Wykeham, Walker, and Wynford)? Where is the writing desk of a well-loved author? And why do people keep coming to Hampshire? Hampshire' s beautiful rivers, coast, downland and forests, its ancient and modern roads, its maritime cities, its royal, religious and mercantile wealth, have made the county a crossroads of cultures and events, with a legacy of intriguing history, people, artists and traditions. A guide to the county to dip into, a compendium of fascinating ' I didn' t know that' facts and a companion to travels in the county, this is an essential read for those who know Hampshire and those who would like to.
