| Abstract: |
The evaluation revealed part of the wall of a building which was located just outside of the south-west corner of the inner precinct of the Priory of the Knights of St John of Jerusalem, and may have been built not long after its foundation in 1144. A pair of brick-built cellars, constructed according in approximately1600-1660 survived almost entirely to the north of the wall. They were entered through gaps in the north wall, much of which was constructed from ashlar masonry possibly re-used from the Great Barn of the Priory, which replaced the earlier building in the late 14th/early 15th century. The cellar entrances were flanked by chamfered brick buttresses, which probably formed a decorative porch. [Au(adp)] |
