At a glance, Winchester is a city preserved in history—sheltered from the winds of time and change. Upon closer inspection, you will discover that there are new stories around every corner. It’s the job of @hantschronicle to bring these to light buff.ly/3JWdmrU

#OnThisDay in 1864, Giuseppe Garibaldi arrived in Southampton to a hero’s welcome. He was greeted by the mayor, George Brinton. The next day, Garibaldi led a procession of one hundred carriages through the streets, which were packed with crowds of cheering people.

Yesterday the @HistBites podcasters were close to the east bank of the River Itchen, exploring the oldest Anglican church in the world - Pear Tree Church.
@ChurchPeartree has a fascinating hidden history, shared here by Julian Gerry and Dr Cheryl Butler buff.ly/31BFuwD

So much incredible history @ChurchPeartree
Our @histbites team loved talking to them earlier this month.
The original memorial stone for Richard Parker in @ChurchPeartree.
Parker was killed and eaten by three of his crewmates when they became stranded at sea after their yacht was lost in a storm during a voyage from Southampton to Sydney in 1884.

I was only thinking about this yesterday and how lovely it was to meet up with @eandrewssteele for a chat about letter writing. This #PostboxSaturday I'm on a mission to try and find an Edward VIII one. Do you have any Hampshire way? 😊📮🗺️
