Kingsgate, Winchester

Kingsgate is one of two surviving medieval gates to the city of Winchester, England (the other is the Westgate).

The present gate is probably 14th century, with 18th-century pedestrian walkways.

St Swithun was built in the Middle Ages in the Early English style, and is unusual in forming a part of the fabric of the old city walls.

It first appears in thirteenth century records and achieved some literary fame, under the fictional name of St Cuthbert's, in Anthony Trollope's novel The Warden.

[1] Kingsgate is a scheduled monument[2] (St Swithun's Church is a Grade I listed building).
