Winchcombeshire
Winchcombeshire, an ancient county in the South West of England, in the 10th and 11th centuries, developed around its county town, Winchcombe. It appears that it had a separate existence as a petty kingdom prior to this time. King Coenwulf of Mercia is associated with the region before becoming king. A link with the earlier kingdom of Hwicce has been surmised, given the apparent link between Coenwulf's family and that of the kings of Hwicce.

The Abbey was founded c. 798 for three hundred Benedictine monks, by King Offa of Mercia or King Kenulf. In its time, it was the burial place of two Mercian princes, Kenulf and his son St. Kenelm.
