Monument record TR 15 NE 1279 - Priory Precinct wall Prior's Great Garden, Christchurch Priory
Summary
During the early part of the 12th century the Priory gained new land and were able to extend their precincts. Accordingly a new wall replacing Lanfranc's earlier wall which enclosed a much smaller area, was built of mortared large sandstone blocks and large flint nodules.
