Title: Etching of St Catherine's Hill, Winchester, by Heywood Sumner [Go to resource]
Description: St Catherine's Hill, overlooking St Cross and Winchester, standing at the end of a ridge of downland starting at Beacon Hill. The clump of beech trees on the summit would have been regarded as a decidedly picturesque feature. St Catherine's Hill is the site of an Iron Age hillfort, excavated by Winchester College and the Hampshire Field Club in 1925-28. The ring of earthworks around its brow show well in this etching. The fly-fisherman is standing on the banks of the River Itchen.
