Arthur, Prince of Wales
Winchester Cathedral Close contains a number of historic buildings from the time when the cathedral was also a priory. Of particular note is the "Deanery", which dates back to the 13th century. It was originally the Prior's House, and was the birthplace of Arthur, Prince of Wales in 1486. Not far away is "Cheyney Court", a mid 15th-century timber-framed house incorporating the Porter's Lodge for the Priory Gate. It was the Bishop's court house.
