I

Former abbey building, possibly infirmary, traditionally called The Malthouse,
c.1400, with c.C18 west gable wall. Building originally extended further west.
Ashlar and rubble-stone walls. Buttress with 2 set-offs at south west corner.
Clay Roman tile roof. No stacks, 2 storeys, originally, though now only ceiled
at west end, 4 windows, irregular fenestration. C14 openings with later wooden
framing, skewed loop-light at centre. 2-centred archway immediately west of south
wall, of two moulded orders dying into the jambs. East part of this wall was
formerly covered by the south wing and has a large opening with a square head of 3
chamfered orders, blocked. West of this is a blocked pedestrian doorway with
pointed-segmental head. The east wall has 2 square-headed lights to the lower
floor. Upper floor has a single late C14 window of two trefoiled lights, cross-
transomed, rebated internally for shutters, and with a chamfered reve-arch.
Interior: beam shelf on north and south walls at upper floor level. Vertical
chases in the south wall probably for the wall-parts of the original roof.
Attached west wall of south wing, running south for 60 metres and c.3.5 metres high.
Openings north to south: single square-headed light; window of two trefoiled
lights in a square head; doorway with a segmental-pointed head; three ranges of
two single-light windows, set one above another, all these have square heads,
except the southern on the ground floor, which has a trefoiled head.
