St Peter'S Church Hall

St Peter's Church Hall, built in 1833, is located on the west side of St Peter Street, set back between Jewry Street and St Peter Street with access via a passage from the latter. Originally constructed in 1792 on the site of a house previously used for Catholic worship, it is an early example of Gothic Revival architecture designed by John Carter. The hall is noted in Bishop Milner's History of Winchester, where it is illustrated in its original state.

The building was converted to a hall following the construction of a new church, and while the interior has lost its furnishings and decoration, the exterior has also lost some of its original delicate ornamentation. The large rectangular hall is built of red brick with flint panels at the rear. The front facing St Peter Street is cement rendered and features shelved buttresses that were originally topped with pinnacles above a crenellated parapet. Below the parapet, there is a string course decorated with rosettes and small plaques bearing symbols of St Peter.

The façade includes seven pointed windows, with one set above the porch, each consisting of three lights with wooden tracery and drip moulds above with head stops. To the right, there is a later gabled porch with a pointed entrance and a drop mould above. The north wall features two pointed windows and a quatrefoil in the center.
