Hyde Abbey School

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

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

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