High Street Section 1
References
There has been no attempt in the past to identify High Street builders and architects, and these notes are a limited remedy of that deficiency. The only general architectural surveys, and they are very general, are to be found in Winchester Street Architecture by Thomas Dinham Atkinson, FRIBA (1934) and the perambulations of the city in Nicholas Pevsner's Hampshire volume of the Buildings of England series (1967). The present writer must acknowledge her indebtedness to all those public and private owners of High Street properties who have so generously allowed her to consult their deeds, and also to the late Alderman Thomas Stopher's notes on Winchester buildings, in the City Museum. Stopher, a famous local architect, possessed an unrivalled local knowledge, and his notes, although incomplete and unfinished are of great value. Mention too, must be made of the late Mr S. Ward Evans, an enthusiastic amateur archaeologist, whose booklet on the High Street published by the Hampshire Chronicle before 1939 (at 3d) is well worth reading as a general introduction.
