Title: National Pageant participant, Winchester, 1908 [Go to resource]
Description: In 1906 it was discovered that Winchester Cathedral was in danger of collapsing, so the city held a National Pageant in 1908 to raise money to rescue it. The Pageant represented key figures and events from the city's and national history. It was in the form of a folk-play held amongst the ruins of Wolvesey Castle. This view shows a man dressed as a Medieval soldier, possibly one of William I's men. (The Rev. E. Macpherson dressed as the Duke of Normandy (William I) for the Pageant). Reference: James, T.
