Hyde Abbey Gatehouse, Winchester

The Hyde Abbey Gatehouse is the last structure of Hyde Abbey that remains above ground. Constructed in the 15th century, it features flint walls with stone accents. The gateway comprises a sizable four-centered carriage arch, as well as a smaller arch for pedestrians. The roof has been updated with modern tiles and rainwater systems, showcasing an open-braced Queen post roof design. In the past, the outer arch was equipped with timber gates.

Adjacent to the gateway, to the west, stands an old cart shed. Originally a single-story structure with rubble walls and a thatched roof, parts of it date back to the 12th century. It has since been converted into a day room for elderly residents, with flats situated above. The cart shed now boasts a tiled roof adorned with dormers and roof lights. These remaining elements offer a glimpse into the architectural heritage of Hyde Abbey.
