Winchester Great Hall - Stained Glass Windows
The installation of the present stained glass windows, which depict the heraldic arms of various figures important to the history of the county of Hampshire took place in 1874. These spectacular windows were produced by John Hardman and Co, who had produced the stained glass windows for the Houses of Parliament.
This is one of the finest surviving medieval aisled halls of the 13th century which was once part of the magnificent Winchester Castle. The castle was founded in 1067 by William the Conqueror shortly after his victory at the Battle of Hastings. In 1222 Henry III, with his love of architecture, began the construction of one of the earliest Gothic styled medieval halls. Admire the soaring Purbeck marble columns and beautiful Gothic pointed archways.
