The cathedral was founded in 642 on a site immediately to the north of the present one. This building became known as the Old Minster. It became part of a monastic settlement in 971. Saint Swithun was buried near the Old Minster and then in it, before being moved to the new Norman cathedral. So-called mortuary chests said to contain the remains of Saxon kings such as King Eadwig of England, first buried in the Old Minster, and his wife Ælfgifu, are in the present cathedral. The Old Minster was demolished in 1093, immediately after the consecration of its successor.
The Baja Marimba Band was a popular musical group led by marimba player Julius Wechter. Initially formed by producer Herb Alpert to cash in on the "south of the border" craze started by his own Tijuana Brass, the Baja Marimba Band outlasted the Tijuana Brass by several years thanks largely in part to TV producer Chuck Barris, who featured the group's music on his game shows through the mid-1970s.
History
Origin
During his youth, Julius Wechter took up several percussion instruments including the vibes and marimba. In 1956 his group the Julius Wechter Quartet released a jazz album entitled Linear Sketches.
In 1958, Julius joined Martin Denny's band where he played marimba (replacing Arthur Lyman) as well as numerous other percussion instruments. Four years later he was paid $15 as a session man on Herb Alpert's debut album, The Lonely Bull. Wechter soon composed "Spanish Flea" for Alpert, which became a hit for him. Alpert encouraged Wechter to form his own group, The Baja Marimba Band, to help cash in on the faux-Mexican popularity of Albert's own Tijuana Brass.
"Winchester Cathedral" is a song released in late 1966 by Fontana Records, whereupon it shot to the #1 spot in Canada on the RPM 100 national singles charts and shortly thereafter in the U.S. on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It was released by The New Vaudeville Band, a British novelty group established by the song's composer, Geoff Stephens. Stephens was a big fan of tunes from the Britishmusic hall era (or what Americans would call "vaudeville"), so he wrote "Winchester Cathedral" in that vein, complete with a Rudy Vallée soundalike
(John Carter) singing through his hands to imitate a megaphone sound. Although the song was recorded entirely by session musicians, when it became an international hit, an actual band had to be assembled. The recording is one of the few charting songs to feature a bassoon. The band toured extensively under the tutelage of Peter Grant, who later went on to manage The Yardbirds and Led Zeppelin.
The tune went to No. 4 in the UK Singles Chart. It went all the way to the top in the U.S., however, displacing "You Keep Me Hangin' On" by the Supremes on December 3, 1966. After a one-week run at No. 1, "Winchester Cathedral" was knocked off the summit by the Beach Boys' "Good Vibrations", only to rebound to the top spot the following week. After two additional weeks, it was knocked off the top for good by "I'm a Believer" by The Monkees.
When Stephens received several requests for The New Vaudeville Band to tour, he had to put together a group, as the song was recorded by session musicians hired only for the recording session. He contacted a real group, the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, which played similar music at the time. Only Bob Kerr from that group was interested, so he left The Bonzos to help Stephens form a touring version of The New Vaudeville Band, which included original session drummer Henri Harrison. The lead singer of the touring version of the group was Alan Klein, who was billed as 'Tristram - Seventh Earl of Cricklewood'.
Winchester is a city and the county town of Hampshire. The city lies at the heart of the wider City of Winchester, a local government district, and is located at the western end of the South Downs National Park, along the course of the River Itchen. It is situated 61 miles (98km) south-west of London and 13.6 miles (21.9km) from Southampton, its closest city. At the time of the 2011 Census, Winchester had a population of 45,184. The wider City of Winchester district which includes towns such as Alresford and Bishop's Waltham has a population of 116,800
Winchester developed from the Roman town of Venta Belgarum, which in turn developed from an Iron Ageoppidum. Winchester's major landmark is Winchester Cathedral, one of the largest cathedrals in Europe, with the distinction of having the longest nave and overall length of all Gothic cathedrals in Europe. The city is home to the University of Winchester and Winchester College, the oldest public school in the United Kingdom still to be using its original buildings.
This is my music video to the classic 60's song Winchester Cathedral from the British band The New Vaudeville Band. I threw this together in about an hour so it's not the best ever.

The cathedral was founded in 642 on a site immediately to the north of the present one. This building became known as the Old Minster. It became part of a monastic settlement in 971. Saint Swithun was buried near the Old Minster and then in it, before being moved to the new Norman cathedral. So-called mortuary chests said to contain the remains of Saxon kings such as King Eadwig of England, first buried in the Old Minster, and his wife Ælfgifu, are in the present cathedral. The Old Minster was demolished in 1093, immediately after the consecration of its successor.
If you say you're the ring finger on my stone Well I say I'm a kite with a key If you say that you are unsure of things Well I'm not accepting defeat Are we strong enough Is it good enough Am I brave enough For the both of us I will sing you songs Even though you can't put 'em on your finger I'll never be a diamond mine, I'm just a singer I will sing you songs Wishing my words carried on as long as a stone On a band of gold You're sleepwalking through the daylight How else am I supposed to follow a dream And now you say I can't wait on you to connect these hands But I'm still trying to reach So are we strong enough Is it good enough You pray hard enough For the both of us I will sing you songs Even though you can't put 'em on your finger I'll never be a diamond mine, I'm just a singer I will sing you songs Wishing my words carried on as long as a stone On a band of gold 'Cause I'm just a rolling stone in a band on the road I know words don't mean Much on their own But what I sing to you Is worth more than a stone I will sing you songs Even though you can't put 'em on your finger I'll never be a diamond mine, I'm just a singer I will sing you songs Wishing my words carried on as long as a stone On a band of gold 'Cause I'm just a rolling stone in a band on the road You said you want a stone On a band of gold What you got is a rolling stone In a band on the road Yeah I'm just a rolling stone in a band on the road I haven't seen the sun in days Man, it's getting to me Well that's our industry I lost my happy thoughts Caught up in a tree Flying's harder for me now And kiss my ass you dream I hope you're hearing me No one's bet on you quite like I did It's taken everything I've got To keep myself on the road I don't wanna drive no more I am a stubborn bull I am a caveman A cheap tattoo Gone from black to blue So I don't wanna hear it from you Never gonna be a spaceman Sitting on my tin can Never come back I spend my afternoons Making masterpieces People would later understand Well damn you wishing well You should've told me I bought dreams you wouldn't sell It's taken everything I've god To keep my hands from my face I don't wanna cry no more I found dangers in Acting out Dreams never meant To be carried out Oh, but I am the stubborn bull Yeah, I am a caveman A cheap tattoo Fading from black to blue So I don't wanna hear it from you
