Hyde Abbey gateway is a late medieval gatehouse structure located in Winchester, Hampshire, forming part of the former Benedictine monastery of Hyde Abbey. The gateway dates to the fifteenth century and represents one of the few surviving architectural elements of the abbey, which was founded in the ninth century as New Minster before relocating to Hyde in the twelfth century. The structure exhibits characteristic late medieval masonry construction and served as the principal entrance to the monastic precinct. Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the sixteenth century, the gateway survived while much of the remainder of the abbey complex was dismantled, making it an important witness to Winchester's monastic heritage.
