The New Minster in Winchester was a royal Benedictine abbey founded in 901 in Winchester in the English county of Hampshire. Alfred the Great had intended to build the monastery, but only got around to buying the land. His son, Edward the Elder, finished the project according to Alfred's wishes, with the help of Saint Grimbald who became its first abbot. It stood so close to the Old Minster that the voices of the two choirs merged with chaotic results. The body of King Alfred was transferred to the New Minster, Saint Grimbald joined him and it was also given the body of the Breton Saint Judoc (Saint Josse), making it an important pilgrimage centre. It became a Benedictine house in 963.

  • Das New Minster in Winchester war eine 901 gegründete königliche Benediktinerabtei. Alfred der Große hatte geplant, das Kloster zu bauen, aber kam nur dazu, das Land zu kaufen. Sein Sohn Eduard der Ältere beendete das Projekt gemäß Alfreds Wünschen mit der Hilfe von Grimbald, der der erste Abt wurde. Das New Minster stand so nahe beim Old Minster, dass die Stimmen der beiden Chöre gleichzeitig mit chaotischem Ergebnis zu hören waren. (de)
