    About Winchester College

    Founded in 1382, Winchester College has the longest continuous history of any English school and it still occupies its original medieval buildings.

    The College welcomes visitors seven days a week to its Treasury museum, on guided tours, as well as to public events throughout the year. The College offers the following tours:

    • College tours, which run daily at 2.15pm and 3.30pm and focus on the school’s history and medieval architecture
    • Archives tours, which run monthly with the College Archivist
    • Treasures tours, which are behind-the-scenes collections tours with the Museum Manager
    • War Cloister tours, which explore the largest private war memorial in Europe
    • Garden tours, which run monthly from April - September

    Treasury houses the school's outstanding collections of art and archaeology, displayed across four galleries in the medieval Warden’s stables, and is open from 2:00pm-4:00pm, 7 days a week. Entry is free.
