  Cenwalh of Wessex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cenwalh (died 674) was the king of Wessex from 643 to 674, except for a brief period (645 648) when he was driven out of his kingdom by Penda of Mercia.
During this period, he sought refuge with Anna of East Anglia, who convinced him to be christened.
As king of Wessex, Cenwalh encouraged Saint Birinus to establish churches throughout his kingdom.

Agilbert lived and worked in Southern Ireland before he was invited, by King Cenwalh of Wessex, to succeed St. Birinus as Bishop of Wessex at Dorchester-on-Thames (Oxfordshire) in AD 650.
However, Agilbert was very imperfectly acquainted with the West Saxon language and, by AD 660, King Cenwalh, was finding that much difficulty arose from the former's ignorance.
Wessex was for some time without a bishop, until Agilbert, who had, in vain, been entreated to return, recommended his nephew, Leuthere, as a proper person to be ordained in his place.

Was conquered by Egbryht (Egbert) of Wessex in 827, who went on to subdue the Northumbrians that year, and thus for a short time held the kingship of the entire Anglo-Saxon realm.

 Category:West Saxon monarchs
This is a category for monarchs of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Wessex.
The question of who qualifies as a monarch of Wessex is sometimes a difficult question to answer.
One approach is to say that no monarchs after Ælfred should be included, since from that time forward Wessex ceased to exist as a separate political entity.

 Berkshire Travel
I've noticed that recent maps seem to refer to the whole downland area around West Berkshire/North Hampshire/South Oxfordshire/North Wiltshire as the North Wessex Downs, after the AONB of that name.
Although this route was once served by a railway route, today it is only served by the A34 road, which today bypasses Newbury to the west on an alignment partially using the old rail route ('History' below).
The town is surrounded on three sides (north, west and south) by the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and the downland to the south rises steeply out of the river valley giving good views.
