Welcome to Winchester College Heritage!
BUILDINGS, HISTORY AND ARCHITECTURE
Winchester College is fortunate to maintain eighteen Grade I, six Grade II* and over seventy Grade II listed buildings, some of which formed part of the original College site in the late 14th century. Many of these spaces are of national importance; all are in current use and many are open to the public via guided tours or public events.
