History of Winchester Crown Court

The current Winchester Law Courts building was opened on 22 February 1974 by Lord Hailsham and was designed by architects Louis de Soissons and Richard Fraser in a modernist style. Before the present building was constructed, judicial proceedings in Winchester took place in the Great Hall of Winchester Castle, a 13th-century structure built by Henry III between 1222 and 1235. The Great Hall hosted criminal trials for centuries, including the famous treason trial of Sir Walter Raleigh in 1603. The modern court complex is physically attached to the eastern end of the Great Hall through preserved gothic arches from an earlier 1870s courthouse, creating a remarkable link between medieval and contemporary justice. Today, Winchester Crown Court continues to serve as one of the principal Crown Court centres in the South East of England, handling cases from across Hampshire, including those committed from nearby courts such as Southampton Crown Court and Portsmouth Crown Court.
