Monument record TQ 65 NE 50 - Medieval courtyard, St Mary's Abbey, West Malling
Summary
When the land was cleared in the 18th century for rebuilding, it was reported that two courtyards existed.One was the cloister but the other may have been an irregular courtyard formed by the guesthouse and other attached buildings. There is also the possibility that a courtyard on the south of the cloister, as part of the infirmary or the abbesses' apartment, may have been destroyed.
