Boarding Houses at Winchester College

Prior to 1931, the houses were known by their house letter and original postal address.  By a GoBo resolution that year, all houses were to be officially known by the name of their first Housedon.  The changes would be effected with the next change of HoDo.  Exceptions were made for Kingsgate House and, subsequently Chernocke House.
