What reading level is Winchester book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The short row of Norman arches seenfrom the Close belonged to the old Chapter House, which is said to havebeen pulled down for the sake of its lead. The Deanery was the ancienthouse of the Priors, of which it contains many interesting memorials. Here are the Great Hall, now subdivided, and the Hospitium, used asstables. The Deanery entrance has three pointed arches, beneath which, as we have stated, the poor pilgrims and other wayfarers received foodand alms. On his numerous visits to Wincheste...r, Charles II used to lodgeat the Deanery, until Prebendary Ken (afterwards Bishop of Bath andWells) refused to allow Nell Gwynne to enter the house, with the resultthat she had to content herself with an inferior residence outside theprecincts.
Of Wykeham's "College of St. Marie", or New College, Oxford, this is notthe place to speak, especially as it has already been dealt with in the"Oxford" volume of this "Beautiful England" series. His other"College of St. Mary", or, as it is commonly known, Winchester College, has a history extending far beyond that of most of our great publicschools; and Winchester was celebrated for its educational institutionsin Saxon days.
