This is a view of the Science School of Winchester College. The Department is housed in a neo-Queen Anne building which was built in 1904 and overlooks the playing fields and water meadows. Science wasn't always so well thought of at Winchester, back in 1863, Moberley, the headmaster of Winchester College at the time, said that teaching science was "except for those who have a taste...practically worthless!"
