Winchester was first protected by town walls in Roman times. Rebuilt and repaired, the walls served Saxon and medieval Winchester. Now there is little left of the walls, but two city gates remain. The Kingsgate is 14th Century. Either side of its Gothic archway are two 18th-century brick passages for pedestrians. A charming bowed shop front nestles inside the one on the left. Above the gate is the Church of St Swithun. The combination of church and gate would have surprised no-one in the Middle Ages, but is now very rare.
