ABBEY GATE

[map of the area]

The Abbey Gate into the Medieval Priory Close once stood near to this spot. There was a chamber over it, probably part of the Porter’s Lodge. The map of 1634 shows the Gate House at the south-west corner of the monastery, which occupied a large part of the old walled city.
