Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Bust of William Walker, Winchester William Walker MVO (18691918) was an English diver famous for shoring up the southern and eastern sides of Winchester Cathedral.
In his time, William Walker was the most experienced diver of Siebe Gorman Ltd. In 19061911, working in water up to a depth of six metres (20 feet), he shored up Winchester Cathedral, using more than 25,000 bags of concrete, 115,000 concrete blocks, and 900,000 bricks. During his time working at Winchester, Walker cycled home, 150 miles to Croydon and back, each weekend to see his family. Quite an undertaking; in 2000, I arranged a cycling tour based in Winchester. Two of us cycled, from Croydon, to Winchester, and back at the end of the tour. Even with modern roads, and cycles, we could appreciate William's undertaking, after a hard week's work. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Walker_(diver) |
