Winchester is known as a cathedral city in England. When it was at royal city and residence of the
kings of Wessex, Winchester competed with London to be capital of England and rivalled Salisbury
as an important centre of learning. The increasing agricultural use of the land and the rise in the
population of the nearby towns and villages gave prosperity to Winchester and turned it into a major
economic centre. Wool was an important local product, and its collection and distribution formed part
of the city's economy. Under King Alfred, whose statue stands in the city, the cultural and
ecclesiastical life of Winchester became firmly established.
