I decided to make a trip to Winchester on the 24th July 2018 and then again in September. I had never been before. Winchester is a city and the county town of Hampshire, England. It is situated about 61 miles south-west of London and around 13 from Southampton which is its closest city. Winchester developed from the Roman town of Venta Belgarum. The city is home to the University of Winchester and Winchester College, the oldest public school in the United Kingdom still using its original buildings. There is so much to see here in this fine city and spending a day here you would find it difficult to cover all the famous sites.
Winchester Castle is a medieval building in Winchester, Hampshire. It was built in 1067. Now only the Great Hall still remains, it houses a museum containing the history of Winchester. The Great Hall, one of the finest surviving aisled halls of the 13th century, contains what is considered to be the greatest symbol of medieval mythology, King Arthur’s Round Table and is all that now remains of Winchester Castle. To be able to view this iconic Round Table of Arthurian legend that has dominated Winchester’s ancient Great Hall for many years. This is one of the finest surviving examples of a 13th century hall and is an enhancement of the original Winchester Castle built by William the Conqueror. You are able to discover the history and uncover the battles, secrets and trials for terrorism and treason that were held here.
Around the time of AD 70 the Romans constructed a massive earth rampart which was 800 ft ( or 240 metres ) long and 200 ft ( 61 metres ) wide. On the top of this they built a fort to protect the city of Venta Belgarum as it was then. This site was chosen by William the Conqueror as the site of one of the first Norman castles in England. The castle was built in 1067 a year after The Battle of Hastings which started 14th. October 1066. A round tower from the original castle complete with sally ports ( The modern meaning for sally port is a secure, controlled entry way, as in a fortification or a prison ). I found the staff helpful here and the castle though not what you would expect by today’s standard was still interesting to visit and see. The table is huge and hangs on a wall in this great hall. There is also a shop where you can purchase items of interest connected with your visit to this ancient site. Outside and near the Winchester Law Courts are some other ruins that led under the castle at the time of building. A short walk towards the Romsey road Roundabout is the Westgate Museum which were some medieval gates fronting an ancient Tudor & Stuart building and contains exhibits of a former debtor's prison.
The Winchester model in the Winchester City Museum.
Start your trip to this museum with the Winchester Model, a breathtaking scale model of the city as it was in Victorian times. The model was built by former County Planning Officer Roger Brown, who left it as a legacy to the city of Winchester and its people. It is a unique record of Winchester from 1870, when the population was less than a third of what it is now, when the magnificent Guildhall was yet to be built, and when it would be another 30 years before the statue of King Alfred would be erected on the Broadway.

Poorly trained security guards, don't let you put in a complaint about them. Black man told me I was in the wrong department then asked me to leave the building. i wrote to the person in charge of the building and received no response! The seating in court number 3 for the accused is disgustingly dirty and stained!
it is shameful that the justice system has no morals at all! I visited Crown court on the 19th December 2022. the security man in charge banned me from the building and did not care if I went to prison or not I complained about him and was told that the police would be contacted if i sent another email to them, I have contacted the police for them and sent another 20 email to them they are still lieing about what actually happened. WHY?
Head of security the little man who can't talk very well or ask intelligent question looks like Boss hog out of the dukes of hazard!
