Abstract: |
The building now known as Colcombe Abbey is the remnant of a high-status medieval/post-medieval residence - not an abbey - much of which was demolished about 1960, having stood more or less in ruins since the 17th century. The surviving element is a rectangular stone structure, probably the kitchen. Having lost an upper storey through partial demolition, it is now roofed in corrugated iron. On the ground floor a number of features are preserved, including two 16th century doorways, partly leaded diamond-paned windows with stone mullions and a flagged floor. Unfortunately the once impressive fireplace has been removed, though a small oven survives in the east wall. Within the building is a stone-capped well. |
