This area used to belong to Hide Abbey. At that time there was a church right here, the New Minster, and apparently this is the place where King Alfred originally was buried in front of the altar. Alfred’s widow Ealhswith (d. 902) was also buried in New Minster, together with Edward’s younger brother Æthelweard c. 920, Edward and his son Ælfweard in 924, and King Eadwig in 959.
