Summary

North and south transepts of St Augustines Abbey church. The walls of the north transept, including those of the apse, are standing in places five to six feet high but the south transept has been destroyed to a lower level. The transepts are thought to have been built by Abbot Scolland (1070-1087). An apsidal chapel was added in 1091. Both transepts were reroofed in the mid 14th century.
