Monument record TR 15 NE 1316 - Guest Hall, St. Augustine's Abbey
Summary
The Guest Hall appears to have been built when the principal gates and the boundary wall along the western road frontage were constructed in the early 13th century, as part of Abbot Hugh I of Fleury's works of 1099-1124. The Structure survives still and was heavily restored in the 19th century.
