The following year, in 1927, the Winchester Cemetery was established to provide the residents of the Carnamah Road Board district with a local cemetery. The cemetery was cleared and fenced by contractor W. E. Fould and the first grave was dug on 20 June 1927 by Edward Hellewell. Mrs Rachel Alston Lawson of Winchester was the first to be buried in the cemetery.

Winchester has a good selection of city centre pubs. The best approach is to take note as you wander around, and go to one you like the look of. However, it is worth noting that the Royal Oak pub (the entrance of which is located down a side alley next to ASK Pizza) claims to be the oldest pub in England, and the beautiful oak beams and downstairs areas suggest this. Other pubs of interest are the Eclipse Inn and the Old Vine, both of which are located near the Cathedral grounds.

The buildings of Winchester College, a public school founded by William of Wykeham, still largely date from their first erection in 1382. There are two courtyards, a gatehouse, cloister, hall and a magnificent college chapel. It was planned to educate poor boys before they moved on to New College, Oxford and a life in the church.

Winchester is well known for the Great Hall of its castle, which was built in the 12th century. The Great Hall was rebuilt, sometime between 1222-1235, and still exists in this form. It is famous for King Arthur's Round Table, which has hung in the hall from at least 1463. The table actually dates from the 13th century, and as such is not contemporary to Arthur. Despite this it is still of considerable historical interest and attracts many tourists. The table was originally unpainted, but was painted for King Henry VIII in 1522.
