Monument record TR 15 NE 1402 - Granary, Christchurch Priory

Summary

The site of the Norman granary of the Priory was on the north side of Green Court. Built c. 1070-1090, documents dated 1303-17 mention 'Novum Granarium in the bracino', or the new granary in the brewhouse or malthouse range, suggesting that it was re-built at this time. After the Dissolution of 1538, the former granary became the new Dean's stables.
