Monument record TR 15 NE 308 - Infirmary St Augustine's Abbey
Summary
Infirmary at St Augustine's Abbey constructed during the early 12th century with later additions. Excavated 1903-1907 but has now been covered up again and the area used a playing field. The main walls are visible as parch-marks in the summer. The infirmary hall ran north-south and was eight bays long with an aisle on the east with a chapel on its south east side. New refectory buildings were added in the 1270's and other buildings by the late middle ages.
