Old Hyde House on Hyde Street in Winchester was built on part of the original Hyde Abbey Precinct, established in the northern suburb of the city in the twelfth century. Hyde House is a Grade II* Listed building and Hyde Barn and the boundary walls to the south west of the site are Grade II listed. The varied and interesting history includes the buildings being used as a malt house, a brewery, furniture storage, telephone exchange, and before remaining empty for some time it was used as the Winchester City Council Historic Resource Centre. After a considerable period of disuse and deterioration, a programme of restoration and alteration began to transform the buildings into offices for ADAM Architecture.
Dr Helen Lawrence-Beaton, Architectural Historian at ADAM Architecture, will lead the tour, providing detailed insights into the architectural evolution and historical significance of Hyde House. David Spurling of Hyde900 will place the history of Hyde House against the backdrop of the wider history of Hyde Abbey, offering a broader context of the area's development. Visitors will have a guided tour of the offices, hear about the building's rich history, and see remnants of the old buildings that still exist today.
Refreshments will be served during the visit.
