Cornflowers

On the corner of College Street and Kingsate Street is Cornflowers which is the Winchester College Gift Shop. Profits from the shop help fund a place for one of the sixteen Quiristers at the college (choir boys).

The building was once the Winchester College Tuck Shop, and is named after the blue flowers that are worn by Winchester supporters on Winchester Day.

The Wykeham Arms

The Wykeham Arms is probably the most well known pub in Winchester. It's a 18th century coaching inn, situated between the Cathedral and the College and is named after William of Wykeham, the 14th century Bishop who founded the Winchester College. It is popular with both locals and tourists alike and has a very strong affinity with the College having some of its old desks complete with inkwells as tables. The pub serves food and offers Bed & Breakfast. I like the place, but it can get very crowded at times, which I guess is sign of its popularity.

Moberly's

Around Winchester are the boarding houses of Winchester College where the boys who attend the college live. There are ten boarding Houses and each is a self-contained community where the boys eat, sleep and spend their time when not in lessons. Here in Kingsgate Street is Moberly's which is one of the oldest boarding houses. It accommodates 60 boys and was founded by The Revd Harry Moberly, the first Housemaster (1860-1880). It is formally known as Moberly's but informally as Toye's, after the second Housemaster Jack Toye.

As these are where the boys live they aren't open to the public, but I have been to a number of the boarding houses of Eton where the boys get bigger rooms the older they get, and they weren't bad at all.
