Monument record TR 15 NE 1278 - Chambers, Meister Omer Complex, Christchurch Priory
Summary
A long rectangular shaped range is suggested, about 130 feet long N-S by about 16 feet wide, probably built over two storeys, running north from Meister Omers Hall. Documentary evidence suggests that there was a great chamber to the northern end of the range; a cellar with chamber above and a small chapel over an undercroft are known towards the south end.
