Monument record TR 15 NE 271 - Dormitory St augustins abbey
Summary
Great dorter at St Augustine's Abbey, completed by Abbot Hugh de Fleury in 1120. Mostly destroyed in the 17th century but much of the large north wall of the dormitory is still visible. The dormitory was built on a large groin-vaulted undercroft and has been calculated to have been three bays wide by about fourteen bays long. It is thought to have been the longest monastic dormitory in the country.
