    Note: During his talk Andrew Rumsey mentioned Henry VIII, having been told or misunderstood that St Lawrence Church is connected with him.  The church is on the site of the chapel of the royal palace that William I (“William the Conqueror”) built in Winchester, which was then the capital of England.  The palace was destroyed in 1141 during the civil war of Stephen and Matilda, 350 years before Henry VIII came to the throne.  St Lawrence Church has no particular connection with Henry VIII.
