Title: Great Hall interior, Winchester [Go to resource]
Description: In the 1870s the hall was restored by Thomas H Wyatt, who added the timber roof. The hall is Medieval in origin. The Round Table was built as a table, probably for Edward I in the late 13th century. It is 18ft in diameter made of 121 separate pieces of oak and weighs 11/4 tons. Henry VIII had the table repainted in its present form. In Medieval times the Great Hall was used for courts of law and from the mid-seventeenth century the assizes as well as the quarter sessions were held there. Reference: Morriss, R. K.
