Bioscience offers services in DNA analysis for paternity testing and relationship
determination to the residents of Winchester and the surrounding area. As we have
dealt with a number of customers from Winchester we wanted to also take
the opportunity of providing information about this city.
Initially founded by Celtic peoples, Winchester became
important as Venta Belgarum under Roman rule. It was the capital of
Wessex and a centre of learning under Alfred the Great; later it was the
seat of the Danish king Canute's government. It remained important under
the Norman kings until the emergence of London as the sole capital of
England late in the 12th century. Winchester is known for its cathedral
(11th–14th centuries), Britain's longest (556 ft [169 m]), and for
Winchester College, founded in 1382.
