Hyde Abbey School

Last updated

Hyde Abbey School was a British independent school in Winchester, Hampshire, England.

The school was founded by the Reverend Reynell Cotton in 1760. [1] [2] Following his death in 1779, Cotton was succeeded as headmaster by his son-in-law, the Reverend Charles Richards. [2]

In 1795, Sir John Soane constructed a dedicated schoolroom for the school – his only building in Winchester. [3] By 1847, the school had closed and its building was taken on a lease as the first Hampshire Museum. [4]
