Winchester, Hampshire

Add to Favourites Remove from Favourites Visit Website

Winchester’s Tudor and Stuart era is revealed in this beautifully refurbished listed monument, the last of the main medieval gates into the city.

A debtors’ prison for 150 years, visitors can see the walls covered in prisoners' graffiti. The museum houses a unique collection of weights and measures and a Tudor ceiling from Winchester College. There are great views across the city from the Westgate roof, and children can try on a suit of armour or make an authentic brass rubbing (small fee charged).

The Westgate Museum is operated and funded by Hampshire Cultural Trust.
