#### Admire one of the finest 13th-century halls in England and see the legendary round table of King Arthur at this monument to the city’s medieval heritage.

Visit Winchester’s Great Hall to see the famous round table where it is believed King Arthur once sat with his knights. View the building’s rustic stone exterior and elegant arched windows and discover the exquisite wooden décor and grand marble pillars within. 

Originally built in 1067 for William the Conqueror, the hall is the only remaining part of the castle that was demolished by Oliver Cromwell at the end of the English Civil War. Major restoration took place between 1222 and 1235, and the round table was moved here during the 16th century.

Approach the hall from the cobbled street outside and you will get a sense of how it would have looked in the Middle Ages. Despite being left to the elements for centuries, the resilient façade appears untouched, as do the stained-glass windows along its length.

Make your way through the richly decorated main entrance and into the hall. Notice how the high-beamed ceiling and rows of marble pillars emphasize the building’s grand size.

Wander through the hall and stop to take a closer look at the various windows. Many of these are decorated with intricate family crests and coats of arms, while others shine with bright floral images.

The crowning feature is undoubtedly the round table that is displayed upon the western wall. Legend says that it was around this table that King Arthur and his knights would meet to discuss tactics and battle plans. The table dates back to the late 13th or early 14th century and resembles a dartboard of dark green and white segments. The Tudor rose in the center was added during the reign of Henry VIII.

The Great Hall is located in the heart of Winchester at the top of the city’s High Street. The hall is open daily and admission is by donation. There is a small gift shop where you can buy souvenirs and replicas of the round table.
