St Faith's Church was the parish church of St Cross, a village just south of Winchester, Hampshire, England. It was situated on the northern side of what is now Kingsgate Road at its junction with what is now St Cross Road. The church's graveyard is still there today. The church was demolished in 1507, and St Cross Church, part of the Hospital of St Cross, became the parish church.

West Hill Cemetery, Winchester
West Hill Cemetery, Winchester

West Hill Cemetery is a cemetery to the west of the city centre of Winchester in the English county of Hampshire. Opened in the 1840s, the cemetery became the principal place of burial for the city. However by the 1900s it was almost full, and the Magdalen Hill Cemetery, to the east of the city, opened in 1914 as a replacement.The cemetery comprises 13 acres (5.3 ha) of land. The grade II listed perimeter wall, which fronts onto St James' Lane and Sparkford Road, includes red brick piers with stone caps and wrought iron railings and gates. The cemetery formerly had two chapels, one for the Church of England and the second for other denominations, together with a gate lodge. Both chapels were demolished in the 1920s, but the gate lodge still stands.The cemetery contains the grave of Charles Freeman, a circus entertainer and bare-knuckle boxer known as the "American Giant", who died of tuberculosis in Winchester in 1845. His grave is marked by a 10 ft (3.0 m) high stone obelisk erected in 1860. The cemetery also contains war graves from World War I (115) and World War II (4).Initially run by the Winchester Cemetery Company, which was established by Act of Parliament in 1840, the cemetery has been managed by Winchester City Council since 1958, and is now closed for burials. It is managed to allow its chalk downland to flourish as a habitat for insects and reptiles. A footpath across the cemetery provide access to the adjacent University of Winchester.

It closed on 2 October 2007.The trial broadcasts were made from temporary studios in Winchester High Street. The permanent station broadcast from studios on the top floor of the Brooks Shopping Centre, Winchester.The station played pop music from the 1960s onwards, and covered local news and events in central Hampshire, with news bulletins generally on the hour through weekday daytimes and weekend mornings. There were also 15-minute local news programmes Winchester Today on weekday lunchtimes and Winchester Tonight on weekday evenings.
