In my words.

On my way from Winchester Cathedral to St Cross, I stopped at Prior’s Gate and spent half an hour sketching the first lines. This drawing is part of my visual diary. I used ink and a Copic brush marker to pick out the orange tiles against the cool greys of the stone.

A threshold into
the Cathedral Close.

Built in the late fifteenth century, Prior’s Gate leads into Winchester Cathedral’s Inner Close. It once opened into the working courtyard of St Swithun’s Priory, where visitors found a guesthouse and stables. Above the low stone arch is a tiny room, once part of the organist’s house. The iron-studded oak doors were once thought to date from that period. Tree-ring dating places them between 1620 and 1650, around the time of the English Civil War.
