Winchester Castle
Winchester Castle was a major Norman and medieval royal residence in Winchester, Hampshire, founded by William the Conqueror in 1067. Most of the medieval complex was lost after the 17th century, but the 13th-century Great Hall and the Westgate survive and the Great Hall houses the famous Round Table and related medieval hangings.

As it stood in 1235
The shape it held in its prime.
A long rectangular Great Hall built of dark flint with pale stone dressings and a steep tiled roof sits along a cobbled forecourt; its elevation is pierced by tall pointed two-light windows with early plate tracery and by a large recessed arched doorway with multiple stone orders. Adjoining ranges of similar flint-and-dressings masonry rise two storeys with gabled dormers and mullioned windows; behind the hall is space for gardens and ancillary towers including a surviving round tower.
