{{main|Architecture of Winchester College}}

The college consists of an assemblage of buildings from medieval times to the present day. There are 94 [[listed building]]s, set in grounds of some 250 acres, of which 100 acres are water meadows, 52 acres are playing fields, and 11 acres are formal gardens; the area includes [[St Catherine's Hill, Hampshire|St Catherine's Hill]].<ref name="Buildings and Grounds"/> The medieval buildings, representing most of the original foundation from the school's opening in 1394, include Outer Gate and Outer Court, Chamber Court, the chapel, and the Cloisters. These are built in flint with limestone facings and slate roofs.{{sfn|Sabben-Clare|1981|pp=1–3}}<ref name="Buildings and Grounds">{{cite web |title=Buildings and Grounds |url=https://www.winchestercollege.org/welcome/location/buildings |publisher=Winchester College |access-date=27 October 2022}}</ref> The chapel retains its original wooden fan-vaulted ceiling, designed by Hugh Herland, carpenter to [[Richard II]]. Little of the original medieval glass, designed by [[Thomas Glazier]], survives, as it was scattered in the 1820s, but some is now housed in Thurburn's Chantry, at the back of the chapel, and in Fromond's Chantry, inside the Cloisters.<ref name="Chapel">{{cite web |title=Chapel |url=https://www.winchestercollege.org/explore/location/buildings/chapel |publisher=Winchester College |access-date=4 October 2020}}</ref> The "School" building was constructed in 1683–1687 in [[Christopher Wren|Wren style]],<ref name="Buildings and Grounds"/> with a statue of the founder above the door by [[C.
