We met with Lillian on a very rainy day but that didn't dampen her enthusiasm to educate us on the history of Winchester. Her knowledge of British and European history is very impressive and she answered every question, even obscure ones, in great detail; illustrating her passion for history and love of Winchester and the county. Highly recommend this Winchester tour with Lillian.
