  • THE TREASURY MUSEUM, WINCHESTER COLLEGE

Project:
Conversion of former Grade I Listed stable building into a new museum facility

Architect: Radley House Partnership

As one of the oldest educational institutions in the world, Winchester College has been educating boys continuously since its foundation in 1382.

This was an extremely challenging project – a busy working college with rigid site restrictions and difficult access dueto the proximity to other fragile buildings.

The Wardens’ Stables at Winchester College were built in the last decade of the 14th century, and remained in their original use – as stables – for over six hundred years. They then became a store and games room, until, in 2015, they were converted to house a museum called the Treasury.

The Treasury houses Winchester’s outstanding collections of art and archaeology. Four galleries are filled with collections of different times and places – medieval treasures, Chinese ceramics, and Egyptian and Classical artefacts, all sheltered beneath a medieval roof.

This is a fragile and sensitive building containing delicate objects: Mouldings is proud to have completed the work using carpentry techniques that, in some cases, would have been familiar to the original medieval workmen.
