St William's College was built in the middle of the 15th century. The College's first use was as home to the Minster Chantry priests, who were apparently notorious for their bawdy behavior. But it found a very different use in the 17th century at the time of the English Civil War, as the Royal Mint and printing house for King Charles I. This century its primarily use is for meetings but the upper floor, which has many remarkable features, is open to the public for a small admission charge.
