Monument record TR 15 NE 1324 - Reredorter, St. Augustine's Abbey

Summary

The Reredorter, or monk's Latrine block was situated adjoining and at right angles to the northern end of the Dormitory Range on its eastern side. Probably built at the same time as the dormitory block in 1099 during the abaccy of Abbot Hugh I of Fleury, and it is likely that it replaced an earlier example.
