Description
Alfred, King of the West Saxons (AD871-899) drove the Danish invaders from Wessex. He created fortified centers, of which Winchester, the largest, was his capital. During his reign the streets in use today were first established. Alfred was the most esteemed of English Kings. He encouraged the revival of learning and monastic life, and laid the foundation for a single kingdon of England. This statue by Hamo Thorneycroft, was created in 1901
