A large structure, originally measuring approximately 14.80m by 4.50m, positioned east of the kitch and parallel to the refectory, was identified as the kitchen/cellarer's range. Probably a single storey structure built soon after the completion of the church in c. 1150-1181.

Major changes to the structure occurred in the middle years of the 14th century, when it was partitioned by the erection of stone dwarf walls to take timber superstructure. In the late 14th to early 15th century the original range was demolished and a new kitchen/cellarer's range was built on the same site, although the north wall lay further north than the original, and cut into the earlier courtyard flanking the north side of the earlier range. The new east wall lay further west than the earlier one so that the new range was now more rectangular than elongated in plan. Remain of earlier surviving foundation were covered up by the new floors and a new doorway gave access to an extended eastern covered passage, built over the area formerly occupied by an auxiliary store.

At the Dissolution in 1538, all of the structure was demolished, and the area was converted into an ornamental garden.
