Winchester from Cathedral to Castle
Drawings
A series of elevations in this publication were drawn by Keith Walker, a Winchester architect. He began the project in 1969 with two colleagues, who both dropped out at an early stage. Keith continued on his own and produced an accurate drawing of each façade of Winchester High Street.
Some of these architectural drawings were included in Trust publication 'High Street Section 1' that was published in 1976. Further drawings were included in this publication,'Winchester from Cathedral to Castle' which was published in 1986. Inevitably the building façades at street level had changed in many cases. Winchester Architects Plincke, Leaman and Browning updated where necessary the street level façades for the drawings included in this publication in 1986. Below all of the drawings used in both publications are included. Each drawing is described below, with the date it was last modified, and with a thumbnail drawing that can be clicked to show a larger version of the architectural drawing. The drawings cover the High Street from the site of St Maurice's church going west upto Westgate and then back to Middle Brook Street opposite the St Maurice church site. Two pieces are missing, the block between St Peters Sreet and Parchment Street and the block between Upper Brook Street and Middle Brook Street both going east.
