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'.
