This week Neil takes us in search of the remains of one the greatest Kings ever to reign in the British Isles.
Not far from Winchester’s city centre, in amongst modern residential streets, Neil is on the trail of the location where Alfred the Great’s bones were buried. Alfred the Great took on the Vikings and won. On the field of battle he was a brave and determined soldier.

The hunt for his remains gives us a telling snapshot of the man and the history that followed his death
