This is Henry 3rd's Great Hall, the only significant remains of Winchester Castle, built in 1222. The room is a double cube, measuring 110 feet long by 55 feet wide by 55 feet tall. The roof was reconstructed as seen after a fire of about 1305. On the west wall, is the round table, constructed probably in Edward 1st's reign in about 1280, and painted in the early part of Henry 8th's reign in about 1510. For a closer picture see Image]
