The Diocesan Training College, Winchester, opened...by the Bishop of Winchester, 1862. Creator: Unknown
The Diocesan Training College, Winchester, opened...by the Bishop of Winchester, 1862. This college...stands on the slope of a hill, and looks down on the Vale of Itchen...It is built in that style of architecture which prevailed at the latter end of the fourteenth century, and will, when the grounds are laid out, have a fine effect. It has accommodation of a superior land for fifty-six students, with residences for the Principal, Vice-Principal, and matron...Over the students entrance is a tower 73ft. high, which, with several gables and stone chimneys, breaks the length of the building and produces a pleasing architectural effect. The walls are faced with Swanage stone set in cement, the windows being dressed with Bath stone, as also the doorways, copings, &c. The roof is covered with grey and red tiles, which produce a warm and agreeable appearance. The gables and turrets are surmounted with gilt vanes. Mr. John Colson, of Winchester, was the architect, and the contract was taken by Mr. Watts, of Southampton, at £7450...The site of the building, five acres in extent, was given by the Dean and Chapter of Winchester...The college was instituted in 1840...It is the training-college for the two dioceses of Winchester and Salisbury'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

This photograph showcases The Diocesan Training College in Winchester, which was officially opened by the Bishop of Winchester in 1862. Nestled on the slope of a hill, the college boasts a breathtaking view of the Vale of Itchen below. The architectural design of the college harks back to the late 14th century, with its intricate details and elegant charm. The college is equipped to accommodate up to fifty-six students, along with residences for the Principal, Vice-Principal, and matron. The college's most striking feature is the tower, standing tall at 73ft, which adds a charming architectural element to the building. The walls are adorned with Swanage stone, while the windows and doorways are dressed in Bath stone. The roof is covered with grey and red tiles, giving the college a warm and inviting appearance. The gables and turrets are crowned with gilt vanes, adding an ornate touch to the structure. John Colson, a renowned architect from Winchester, was responsible for the design of the college, while the contract was awarded to Mr. Watts of Southampton for £7450. The college's five-acre site was generously donated by the Dean and Chapter of Winchester. The college was established in 1840 and serves as the training ground for the two dioceses of Winchester and Salisbury. The college's rich history and stunning architecture make it a significant landmark in Winchester, showcasing the elegance and grandeur of the past while continuing to serve an essential educational purpose.
