The above link is now dead, don't you just love council web sites and how they reorganise them. Thank goodness for the Internet archive. Here is the information:

Inspired by Winchester’s Castle and Cathedral and Hampshire’s rich natural resources, this sculpture is a meeting place with a timeless quality.

The segments in the outer circle form a Round Table. One half, decorated with fleur-de-lys and castles, symbolises the reign of Edward I and Eleanor of Castile during which time the Round Table was probably made. The other half illustrates religious presences using arches and arcades. The words relate to fundamental and continuous aspects of society; religion, prosperity and royal governance.
The flowing design in the centre circle recalls the wet lands around Winchester Cathedral. The focal point, a large stone ‘Throne’ surrounded by three guardian figures, which reflect Winchester’s position as a traditional home to monarchs and bishops.

The ‘Alfred’ stone, with its Celtic design influences, symbolises ancient days and embodies the great King’s dedication to art, religion and defence of the realm.
The ‘Mitre’ stone represents the authority and influence of the Christian Church.
The ‘Overflow’ stone refers to the rich resources of Hampshire that assisted the early growth of this country and which continue today.

The three ‘Moot Horns’, used in ancient times to call people together at a meeting place or Moot, celebrate 50 years since Elizabeth II’s coronation. Interwoven round the ‘Throne’ are three of Hampshire’s rivers, sources of life and symbols of continuity.
The work is by Rachel Fenner a local sculptor. She has used Massangis Jaune, a hard french limestone, for the main elements and her palette of colours for the mosaics was influenced by medieval manuscripts.
